Madame Rosa background

Madame Rosa

Madame Rosa, a former Jewish prostitute and Auschwitz survivor, has established a small foster home in a Parisian walk-up, where she devotes her care to the children of other sex workers, with a particularly strong bond with Momo, an Algerian boy whom she regards as her own son.

In a small apartment in Paris, Madame Rosa, a former prostitute and Auschwitz survivor, cares for a group of children, including her favorite, Momo, a young man from Algeria who she raises as a Muslim. As Madame Rosa's age and health decline, Momo takes on more responsibilities, including earning money on the street with a puppet. Meanwhile, Nadine, a film editor, befriends Momo, and his long-lost father suddenly reappears. As Madame Rosa's condition worsens, Momo must navigate a difficult situation to ensure her well-being.
