What if your most amazing encounter was with yourself? Sometimes, your body just tells you “not now”, and that’s when it’s time to listen! From this point on, you have just one aim: to FEEL. Prepare to set off on a 9-month journey… This is Rosy by Marine Barnerias.
Marine, a young 21-year-old student, learns that she has multiple sclerosis, an incurable autoimmune disease. The shock of the announcement, the urgency of the situation, and the need to make decisions about treatments pushed her to find a solution within herself... She decided to go on a long journey of self-discovery to three countries: New Zealand to rediscover her body, Burma to soothe her spirit, and Mongolia to reconnect with her soul. Through unforgettable experiences, Marine set out to find herself and a new balance with the condition which she calls Rosy.
