Explained simply
Rose Bertram is a Belgian model whose career has taken her to major fashion and entertainment centres. Her family life, including her relationship with her mother, Maria, is also part of the story.
Addiction can affect a person’s health and relationships, including the bonds between parents and children. Families may experience difficult or changing circumstances over time, and people can have different feelings about sharing those experiences publicly.
A documentary can bring private experiences to a wider audience, while also giving the people featured a chance to describe them in their own words. Bertram has said she hopes telling her story will help others feel less alone.
