In the 1870s, Rosalie is a young woman hiding a secret: she was born with a face and body covered in hair. She's concealed her peculiarity all her life, shaving to fit in and stay safe. Until Abel, an indebted bar owner unaware of her secret, marries her for her dowry. Once he finds out the truth, will Abel be able to love Rosalie and see her as the woman she is? A fascinating study of gender norms and practical life in small town France.
