Delicate romantic drama about a bearded woman who refuses to accept social beauty standards in 1870s France.

Rosalie (beautifully played by Finnish-French actress Nadia Tereszkiewicz) hides a secret: she was born with a face and body covered in hair. She’s concealed this fact all her life, shaving to fit in and stay safe. Until Abel, an indebted bar owner unaware of her secret, marries her for her dowry. Once he finds out the truth, will Abel be able to love Rosalie and see her as the woman she is? A fascinating study of gender norms and practical life in small town France.
