Rose
Danish feel-good film starring Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing) as a schizophrenic woman who, during a bus trip to Paris, enlists her fellow travellers in an extraordinary quest.
In autumn 1997, Ellen takes her sister Inger on a bus trip to Paris. Inger is schizophrenic and lives in an institution, but with the right medication she can lead a reasonably normal life. When Inger announces her struggles with mental health to their fellow travellers, the sisters are faced with pity from some and downright discrimination from others. On arrival in Paris, it soon becomes clear that Inger has a hidden agenda concerning a person from her past, ultimately involving the entire group in her hunt for answers. While Ellen and her husband have their hands full with Inger’s erratic behaviour, she gradually manages to win everyone over and the trip becomes a memorable one.
ROSE is a film about love and care for each other, despite our differences, as much as it is a film about not judging a book by its cover. For this film, director Niels Arden Oplev secured a star-studded Danish cast, known from series like THE KILLING, BORGEN and THE LEGACY. The film was a huge audience success in Danish cinemas earlier this year.
