Rosa

“No one wants to leave their home”

This mournfully tender but quietly provocative short from writer/director Suha Araj takes us into the day of Rosa, a NY florist who runs a solvent but secretive side hustle. When a new client lets his pain spill over, she’s forced to reckon with the deeper questions of not just her practice, but her place in the world at large.
