Paddy Breathnach’s cinéma verité-like Rosie shows a woman trying to hold her family together GlobeArts

tells the story of a working-class Irish family caught in the country’s housing crisis by following them over a period of 36 hours. There’s a mundane repetitiveness to the story that reflects the bleak realities of a family on the brink of homelessness – right from its opening scene. The titular character Rosie Davis , mother to four children by her partner John Paul Brady , is “looking for a family room, for six.”They’re all crammed in a small car.

Rosie is trying to protect her family after their landlord sells their rented home and they become homeless.After a long day’s work in a restaurant kitchen, falling asleep on the bus ride to the hotel, John Paul helps settle his family in – even if it means running to the car in the middle of the night to fetch youngest daughter Madison’s favourite Peachy, a stuffed rabbit she needs to fall asleep.

They had to leave their rental home of seven years because the landlord is selling it. A family secret precludes Rosie from taking help from immediate family. Rosie and John Paul don’t want to burden their friends either, who are also struggling. Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle has woven a compelling story out of a radio report he heard about a homeless young woman trying to find a place to stay for her family for a night.
