    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Contrary to popular belief, the film did not inspire a new so-called "Rosetta Law" in Belgium that prohibited employers from paying teen workers less than the minimum wage and included other youth labour reforms. In a Guardian interview with the Dardenne brothers, Jean-Pierre explained the misconception: "No, that law already existed, it just hadn't been voted through yet. The truth is always less interesting than the fiction."
    • Goofs
      When Rosetta is giving her mother money for a water bill she is wearing a jacket with the sleeves fully extended. However in the next immediate cut when she goes outside the sleeves are rolled up.
    • Quotes
      • Rosetta: Your name is Rosetta. My name is Rosetta. You found a job. I found a job. You've got a friend. I've got a friend. You have a normal life. I have a normal life. You won't fall in a rut. I won't fall in a rut. Good night. Good night.
