Rosy (2018) - full transcript

A socially awkward young man kidnaps an aspiring actress with the hope that they will fall in love. A psychosexual noir that explores power dynamics between men and women.

(NEWS REPORTS) An acute shortage of
rental properties and rising rents

mean many low-income families
can no longer afford

to rent accommodation
from private landlords.

According to a leading
homeless charity, Ireland now has

the highest growth rate for family
homelessness in the whole of Europe.

Hundreds of families
are left to source

their own emergency accommodation,

many struggling to find
a hotel that will take them.

Charities are now calling for...

Hiya, yeah, I'm looking for a room.

A family room.



No, for a week just, I'd say.

Hiya, I'm looking for a room.

For a few nights.

A family room.

It's Dublin City Council.
The Council credit card.

You're on a list of hotels
I was given.

I'm looking for a room
for a few nights.

There's six of us.

I got your number
from a list I was given, and...

Okay, thanks anyway.

Hiya, I'm looking for 2 room
for a few nights.

A family room.

That's right, yeah,
City Council credit card.

Even for a night, just?

(KIDS ARGUING AGAIN)

Okay, thanks.

Bitch.

I didn't say that.

She was, though.

(SIGHS) It's a copy of a copy!
It's hardly there at all - look it.

Read it out to me, Hun, will you?
I'm doing my homework.

It's only a few
phone numbers, Kayleigh.

I'm not asking you to
abandon your education. Come on.

We'll find a hotel and then
I can start looking for a new place.

A house, like. Mammy, Mammy!
Ah, what's wrong with you, Hun?

Wasn't me.

See yous.
See you.

John Paul?
Yeah?

I need you to stay late
tomorrow night, is that alright?

Okay. Is that okay, yeah?
Just 2 or 3 hours. Yeah, yeah.

We've a big launch, loads of prep.
No problem, yeah, see you.

It's me. Where are you?

Outside Megan's house. Still here.
In the car, yeah.

Say hiya to your Daddy.
Hiya, Daddy.

Now, quiet for a minute
'til I talk to him, alright?

Proper quiet now. Shush-shush quiet.

(KIDS SHUSHING)

No. No luck, no.

Nowhere yet.
I'm going through all of them, yeah.

All day, John Paul,
since this morning, yeah.

I'll have to phone
the emergency line in a minute.

Geez, it's after half four.

No, your one from the Council
never phoned me back.

No one did, no.

What?

Here, I'd say. I've put a wash
into Megan's washing machine,

so I have to wait until it's done.
Anyway, there's nowhere to go yet.

So, what do you think,

will you still be there
if I head that way to yous?

We'll be grand, don't worry.

We'll get somewhere.

See you in a bit.

Love you.

Okay.

(KIDS ARGUING AGAIN)

If I have to go back there...

(KIDS GRUMBLING)

How are you getting on there, Hun?

Okay.
Great.

I left school too young.
You had me.

I had you.

I used to school,
but... I don't know.

(LOUD KNOCK)
(ALL STARTLED)

It's only Megan. Me heart, Megan!
I'm not joking you! Sorry!

Thanks, Hun! You're a star.
Ah, no problem.

Do us a favour,
will you open it for us?

Thanks.

Will you not come in for a bit?
No. Thanks, Megan, no.

There's the five of us.
We're just waiting on John Paul,

we'll be gone in a bit. Last time
I'll be doing this, fingers crossed.

Yeah. I'd say it's hard, though.

The places they have us staying in.
They're miles from the kids' school.

One of them wasn't even in Dublin,
it was in Meath, out in the country.

It's mad.
Must be.

> Mammy! Mammy! MAMMY!
Jesus, hang on!

It's mad in there as well.
(LAUGHING) Go on.

> Mammy!
I'm coming!

(KIDS ARGUING IN THE CAR)

Right. When Nidgey tells you to
shut up, yous are to shut up, okay?

Was Nidgey in the boot?
Poor Nidgey.

Nidgey's grand, don't worry about
Nidgey. That one there, Hun. Got it?

02...

0..57..58.

> How are you, Nidgey?
(IN PLAYFUL VOICE) Shut up!

Hiya, I'm looking for a room.
Your number's on a list I have here.

Three nights would be brilliant...

Yeah, that's right,
Dublin City Council, yeah.

Okay, thanks.

Alright. Where?

Okay, yeah. I'll find you.

What's it called again? Skyway.

Grand, there in a minute.

(BABY CRYING)

(MOTHER SHUSHES BABY)

(TV IN THE BACKGROUND)

Good girl.

Alright?

Where's Alfi? I had to
let him out to play for a bit.

He was going mad in here.
Where is he?

Is he not there?
Hi, Dad.

I told him to stay in
the hall corridor out there.

I don't think he's...
I'll get him. Change of scenery.

Vroom!

Crash!

And he crashes as well!

(IMITATES CAR REVVING)
Alfie?

Who owns him?
He's mine. Aren't you, Hun?

Yep. Get him off the corridor,
will you, love?

Don't be wrecking it
for the rest of us.

What's your problem,
he's only playing?

There'll be complaints.
There always is, 'cos of the noise.

And he isn't any of our kids.
Jesus.

It's a hotel, like. We'll get
thrown out if there's messing.

And I've nowhere else, like.
Right.

Pick up the cars, Alfie.

Jaysus, Alfie, come on.

Do we need anything else
from the car? Don't think so.

I think we're grand. Something
to eat though, I'm starving.

We can't cook here either, no?
It's the pits, it is.

Alfie, stop it.
Okay, grand.

Do you have enough?
I think so, yeah.

We're grand for now.
Do we have the breakfast?

Cornflakes. There's enough for
tomorrow. Milk - get, and juice.

Aw shite, yeah, I forgot.
The lunches for tomorrow?

Bread and... you know.
Grand. Back in a bit.

Take Alfie with you.
I'll be quicker without him.

Of course you will.

Stop bouncing, Hun.
I'm not bouncing.

Now the bottom teeth. Did them.
No you didn't.Oh yeah.

Get back in there.
I'm not tired. Oh yes you are.

I love yous.

The room is smelly, Mammy.

That's just the food.
The smell will go in a minute.

(TOILET FLUSHES)

(WHISPERING)
Peachy.

What about Peachy? Where's Peachy?
Peachy's in the car. I want Peachy.

Ah Jaysus.
I'll go.

Come here to me, you.

(TRADITIONAL MUSIC)

(JOHN PAUL AND ROSIE LAUGHING)

You should've seen the head on them.
Gawking at me. And Peachy.

Brilliant.

Poor Peachy.
Always trying to escape.

And there's no stopping him.
What is he, anyway?

He's a rabbit. Is he?
It's obvious. Is it?

Yes, John Paul.
He's a little rabbit.

He's a little bollocks
as far as I'm concerned.

Ah, lay off poor Peachy.

The smell of the food.
Mm.It's a killer.

I'm hungry again,
I won't be able to sleep.

The window doesn't open.

They're afraid we'll jump.
Well, they might be right.

Remember when we used to think
it'd be great to stay in a hotel?

Well, we're living
the dream now, Hun.

Try and sleep.

How can I with you beside me?

That's nice.

Jesus, Alfie, why didn't you
tell me when I was packing them?

Sorry, Hun. Sorry.

(MESSAGE ALERT TONE)

Tah-dah!

I'm sick.
You're not, Hun. I am!

You'll be fine, Hun. Anyway,
there's nowhere for us to go yet.

Here. We can't stay here, Millie,
I told you.

Why can't we? We just can't.
It's not our house, we've to leave.

We'll be looking for a house when
you're in school. That's right yeah.

So, let's get out of here.
Yes master.

Alfie. What?
Your trousers, Hun.

Here, I'll give you a hand.
I don't need a hand.

We're in a hurry, Alfie, come on!
We can stay in my Nanny's.

Why can't we?
Nanny likes me, she does.

I know that, Hun.
She loves all of you.

She's just not too fond of me
at the moment.

Is this yours, Hun?

I have to wear them,
I have PE today.

Jesus, Millie, I didn't wash them.
They'll have to do.

Into the bathroom, quick now.

Right, everyone's to help
with the bags.

Come on.

Kayleigh, come on.

I miss Nugget.
We all do, Hun.

Why can't we see her? Alfie, we
don't have time for this, come on.

We can't have a dog
in a hotel room, Hun.

I want to pet Nugget. You'll see
Nugget later in your Uncle Dan's.

Come on, Millie, we'll be late!

Good man.

Rosie.

Right, let's go, let's go.
Come on, Alfie, you're the leader.

Go, go.

Press the button, Alfie.

Oh, hiya.

Go, go, go, go, go.

I'm just going in to get your Mammy.

Do you have Peachy in there
with you, love? Yeah.

Show me? Good girl.

I'll be late.
YOU'LL be late?!

Lay off, Rosie. You'll be grand
with your organic Happy Meals!

Lay off, Rosie, it's my job, yeah?

Grand, I'll just be
driving the kids everywhere

and looking for somewhere
for us to live. Lovely.

Sorry.
You're grand.

(SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION)
Come on, will yous?

I'll drive them there myself,
wherever they want to go.

The bleeding North Pole
by the look of them.

There's a few places here, maybe.
For rent, yeah? Yeah, yeah.

Not too far from work.
I'll try and go during my break.

Great. Good.

Jesus, what's keeping these?

(RADIO PLAYING)

Late?
Again.

Sorry... Jesus, Katie, I'm not even
sure we're going the right way.

I hate walking in late, like,
they all look at me. Let them.

They're just jealous.
That's what that is.

Sorry.

It's mad, waking up in
a different place every morning.

Ah, Hun, what's wrong with you?

I'm sick, Mammy.

Where are you sick? Show me.

I don't want to go.
I'm really sick, Mammy.

I'll go in with you, don't worry.
When we get there.

Kayleigh, the door!

(QUIETLY)
Wagon.

I don't want to go.
Mammy, I don't want to!

Ah, Hun, it'll be fine.
It won't!

Why won't it? You love school.
I'll go to school instead of Millie.

Next year, Hun. You're too young,
but it's nice of you to offer.

Look, if you go in, I'll be able to
find us a nice new house.

Like our old house?
Just like our old house.

And your Daddy's looking too.
We'll get one, I promise.

I like school.
Come on so, prove it.

I'll keep an eye on her, don't
worry. She's a dote. Yeah, thanks.

I' mean, I don't know what it is.
She loves school. My God, she does.

She's not sick, I don't think.

We... We moved house there,
a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, she mentioned that, actually.
Did she? She did, I think.

Yeah, anyways,
we're in between places like,

staying with different people
until we move into the new house.

Bit mad, like.
Right.

That's why she's been late and that.
It's my fault.

Anyway, I better head.
Busy? Yeah.

Thanks.
No problem.

Alright, guys,
one minute 'til finish up.

Hiya, yeah, I was talking to someone
about somewhere to live - long term.

Hiya, yeah, I was talking to someone

Sorry, yeah. Rosie.

Ah, what?

There's nothing to rent.

We've been looking every day
since the landlord told us.

We are, yeah.

But there's nothing we can afford.

My partner has a job.

You had no luck?

I never knew there was
so many hotels in Dublin.

No room for the homeless.
Don't use that word, Darren.

We're not homeless, we're just lost.

Locked out, that's it.

We've lost our keys.

That's what it feels like anyway.

Where's John Paul?
Yeah, yeah, where is my brother?

He's at work.
Oh yeah.

Of course.

A job and no house.

It's mad, isn't it?
It's nearly funny.

The dog...

Yeah, I know.

Don't worry.
We really appreciate it.

And the stuff, like... You know?

With the baby coming,
a flat this size...

I know. Thanks.

The problem is, but... we're trying
to find somewhere to stay tonight.

Just tonight, like. Before
the kids get out of school and that.

Even before,
I had to collect Millie.

I end up not having time to look
for somewhere proper to live.

Something we can afford, like.

It's doing my head in.
Yeah, I know.

But look it, he's looking
at a house - John Paul.

That's good.

that'd be good,

but three or four nights would be...

We're looking for something
permanent, SO...

Okay.

Thanks anyway.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

Hiya.

Fingers crossed, yeah.

Yeah, see you love.

Yeah, see you love.

Change of plan, Hun.
We'll have our own little picnic.

Actually, do you think this place
would be suitable for a family?

It's a house.

Excuse me?
Yeah.

Sorry.
Yeah, but...

That doesn't matter, Rose.

Rose, are...

Are you living in your car?

We moved house.
I'm not prying. You're grand.

The new one isn't ready.
Just... the new house, like.

It's just, I saw the clothes
in your boot.

We're having to stay with
different people every night.

That's why the car
is filled with stuff.

Like, it's temporary.
Til next week, just.

And everything back to normal
next week?

Yeah, that's right, back to normal.
Great.

It's just, the incident in the yard
earlier...

What incident in the yard?

Sorry, did Millie not tell you
what happened?

What happened Millie?

As I understand it, the girls...

some of the other girls in Millie's
class, they were calling Millie...

What were they calling Millie?

Smelly Millie.

What?

They were calling her Smelly Millie.

She doesn't smell.

I know, Rose.
None of my kids smell!

Ever! They're always clean.
I've always looked after them.

You should be stopping them
from saying that.

The school should. It's a disgrace.
We are, Rose, don't worry.

The school doesn't condone it.
My daughter doesn't smell.

(GENTLY) I know.

Rose, you're a wonderful mother.

Thanks very much,
can I have that in writing?

Sorry.

Why are they even let
say things like that?

They're not, Rose, believe me.

We'll be dealing with it.

Yeah?

We ARE dealing with it

Okay.

I've to go. I've to collect Kayleigh
from school.

We're staying with
my mother tonight.

How's Kayleigh getting on

No.Or text you, no?
No. What's wrong.

Dunno where she is. She wasn't in
the school. Not answering her phone.

What?!

Right, I'll come.
Right. I'll just sort it out here.

Go on to your ma's, Rosie.
Kayleigh might be there.

Do you think?
She might be.

She'll be somewhere we know about.
Your ma's or one of her friends.

You're right.
Don't worry, I'll see you there.

Okay, right.
Right.

We'll find her.
I know. See you, love.

I'm getting out to play, alright?
No, Alfie, shut the door.

We've to find Kayleigh.
Shut the door, go on.

Are we going to my Nanny's?
Yeah.

> Yeah, that's no problem.
Of course, yeah.

> 6:30? Plenty of time. Yeah.

> Okay, we're looking forward
to it too.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah?
I've to go. Now, like.

What?! You told me
you could work later tonight.

Just yesterday you told me
you could stay. Yeah, sorry.

Ah come on, John Paul! One of
my kids is after going missing.

I need to go toilet, Mammy.
In a minute.

Me as well.
Yeah, yeah, me too, Hun.

Are we going to be staying
at my Nanny's house?

Are you all still
looking for Kayleigh?

I need to go toilet now!

Is Kayleigh here, is she?
No.

Did she phone you? Or text?

I haven't seen Kayleigh at all.
Not since... Is she alright, is she?

I can't find her.

She's... hiding or something,
I think.

She wasn't in school
when I went to get her.

Oh God.

Ah, she'll turn up, though.

Don't worry. She'll be in one of her
friend's houses. Wait and see.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's where I always found you.

Have you found somewhere to live?

Can we come in for a bit?

No, Rosie.

No.

Sorry.

Not until you take back
what you said about your father.

No.

No, I won't.

He was a good man.
Bye.

The best of fathers!
Bye, Ma.

Can the kids use your toilet?

Alright.

Of course. Of course they can.

There she is now.

No, that's Millie.
Kayleigh's older. 13.

Thanks, Rick. See you.
Hey. She'll be fine.Yeah.

Do you even have
somewhere to stay tonight?

I could keep the children, at least.
I'd get them to school on Monday.

No. Thanks.

No, they're my kids.
I'm not leaving them with anyone.

Not 'anyone', Rosie,
I'm their grandmother.

Yeah, and you're my mother.

If I can't come into the house
I grew up in, they can't either.

Out of nowhere.
After all these years.

Making up stories.

And he can't even defend himself.
We'll be gone in a minute.

Your sister says she...
Where is she, though? Toronto?

When was the last time she was home?
Five years? Six?

Madison will need
help in the toilet. Right.

Poor little thing.

No word yet?

Same here. Tried it again there.

If she's not answering you,
she's answering no one.

(SIGHS) This is pointless.
Go on anyway.

Little bitch.
Nanny says we can stay at her house.

Answer. Answer!

Hello?

Where are you? It's me.

Just ring us, Hun, will you?
Or text, anyway.

I love you. Bye.

Just ring, okay?

I could give them their dinner.
No.

There's a lovely smell
in Nanny's house.

We have to find Kayleigh, Hun.
Into the car. You have to help us.

But she said...
GET IN THE CAR I SAID!

JUST DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD FOR ONCE!
JESUS, MILLIE!

Alright?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Sorry, Hun.

Can we not go to our Nanny's?
Millie, just drop it, yeah?

I was supposed to be doing
overtime tonight What?

We've nowhere to live.
I know.

Couldn't tell him that, could I?

Did you find somewhere for tonight?
Give me a break, John Paul. Jesus.

Sorry.

Jesus, the amount of time
we've lost 'cos of Kayleigh.

We'll have to ring
the emergency line in a minute.

I'll kill her, I will.

It's been crap for her, you know.
Yeah. I know.

And I still want to kill her.
It's Kayleigh's fault.

No, it's not.
It isn't anyone's fault.

We'll be fine, don't worry.
Right, listen now.

Who does Kayleigh really like?
Who's her best friend ever?

Emma.
Brilliant. Emma, yeah?

Which Emma though? There was three
Emmas in her class in primary.

Mooney. Emma Mooney.
Is it her, Millie, do you think?

Thanks, Hun.

Emma Mooney...
she was always in the house.

Can't believe it took
So long to think of her.

I know the house.
Great.

Right across from ours.

Right across from ours.

I just hope she's here now.

Barry.
John Paul. What's up?

Is Kayleigh with your Emma?
No. I don't think she is anyway.

Emma came home on her own, I think.
Come in? The kids are in the car.

Hang on and I'll get her. Emma?

Is there something up?
Well, she didn't come home.

She wasn't in school
when I went to get her.

Kayleigh isn't with you, is she?
No.

Come out, love, for a minute.

Hiya, Emma.

Do you know where Kayleigh is?
Where she might be?

No. She might be with Daria, like.
Who's Daria, Hun, do I know her?

She isn't in our class, like,
she's in second year.

She's, like, a new friend, is she?
Yeah.

Didn't know Kayleigh
hung out with Daria.

She didn't, like.
Do you have her phone number?

Daria's? Daria's number?
No.

Where does she live, Hun? Daria?
Do you know where she lives?

There. The white one.
Not our house?

No, near it. Like,

Hiya, is Daria there?

Can I talk to her
for a minute, just?

Hiya, sorry,

We're in a hurry. Quickly, okay?

Teenagers.
It's mad, like.

Thanks for looking after her.

Jesus, Kayleigh, why didn't you
tell us where you were?

Didn't have credit.
So use Daria's phone.

Why can't I stay? Because you're 13!
Jesus, Kayleigh.

I hate those hotels, like. They're
just temporary, you know that.

It's not! It's not.
We're in a hurry, come on.

We don't even have a hotel
for tonight, no thanks to you.

What's happening? No.
Why didn't you bloody stop them?!

They've been stuck
in the car all day.

We don't live here anymore.
We don't live here.

We do!
No, Hun, they're selling it.

We can buy it.
It's too dear Hun, I told you.

We're finding another house come on.
Why don't we live in this house?

I told you, Alfie. I told you.
The landlord's selling it.

Mr Gaffney, remember him? Yeah.
It's his house, he wants to sell it.

But why is it his?
It just is. He owns it.

Alfie.
Are you back, Rosie?

Hiya Betty. No.

No, we were passing. Thought I'd
check to see if there's any post.

Ah grand. Loads of people have been
in, looking at the house, all sorts.

Yeah?
How's your new place then, anyway?

Grand, yeah. Takes a bit
of getting used to, you know.

Alfie? And there's Millie.
Do you like your new house, pet?

She loves it. Don't you, Hun?

We're not rough sleepers, John Paul.
I know. We're not rough anything.

The hotels, Rosie?

I rang them all, I told you.
All of them? Yeah.

The one we were in last night,
the Skyway.

Give it a go,
there might be a cancellation.

I can hardly remember it.
It feels like months ago.

At least we know where it is.

Hiya, we stayed with you last night.

Great, yeah, it was lovely.

That's right,
the City Council credit card.

Yeah, I was wondering
if there was any chance... Okay.

Yeah.

Thanks anyway.

I need credit.

I'm hungry.
Me as well. Me as well.

Right, what time is it anyway?

Jesus, will we get somewhere?
Go on ahead and get the credit.

Why didn't you do it
when you were in Daria's? Well?

Right, sit up here and start.

I don't like chips. What?
Teacher says they're bad for you.

Well, Teacher isn't here.

They look brilliant, don't they?
Mad, yeah.

Do you have enough? Think so.
We can't have much left, do we?

Here. Just in case.
And water. One of the big bottles.

Okay. Why? In case

In the car?

Jesus, John Paul,
is there nowhere we can go?

I don't think so. We've thought of...
No one else we know, like?

No one has enough room.
We've thought of them all.

Unless you want us
to go back to your ma's.

No.
Fine. I'm with you.

Go sort the credit.
We'll find somewhere.

Your man, the emergency line fellow,
he'll get back to us.

Don't think so, Hun, not tonight.

Imagine being able
to fall asleep like that.

She just pushed me out of the car.

I'm always late, like, and I had

I know it's hard. And now she looks
at me, this is the Year Head, like,

she looks at me like I've cancer,
and she smiles.

'Cos we don't have a house.
Well, at least she smiles.

It's not funny, like.
I know. Sorry.

Look, we're looking, we're trying.

And your mammy, like,
she's having to do it all.

They're for sharing, Alfie.
Stop that. They've to last.

Move over there, Alfie.

I want fries.
No, I told you, you had your dinner.

Anyway, you don't like chips.
You said it yourself.

Fries aren't chips.

Ah, your teeth, Hun.
You just brushed them.

No. No, go on ahead.
You can brush them again.

It'll help kill the time.

What are you writing, Hun?

Kayleigh?
An essay.

What's it called?
"If I won the Lotto."

Alright, come on, come on.
Let's get you ready. Ready for what?
