When her Probation (workplace) ends without her being hired, Rosetta (Émilie Dequenne) engages in a violent struggle against her manager and the policemen when she refuses to leave the premises. She returns home to "The Grand Canyon", the caravan park where she lives with her alcoholism mother, who mends worn clothes for her to sell. She gets into a physical struggle with her mother over her mother accepting gifts for men for sexual favours and then lays out Fish trap to poach fish for food. Unable to receive unemployment pay and desperate for work, Rosetta asks around for vacancies until she happens upon a waffle stand. She befriends the worker, Riquet (Fabrizio Rongione). Later, Rosetta treats herself for her period cramps with Analgesic and a hairdryer massaging the area.
