German hausfrau Rosalie (Marianne Sägebrecht, Bagdad Café) is living the American dream in Stuttgart, Arkansas. She has a crop-duster husband who dotes on her (Brad Davis: Querelle, Midnight Express), kids who love her and a priest (Judge Reinhold, Beverly Hills Cop) who forgives her sins..

Rosalie’s peccadillo is that she loves to shop too much to let a little thing like no money stop her. When the local shopkeepers no longer take her bad checks or her expired credit cards, Rosalie is reduced to stealing from one family member to buy presents for others. Things look pretty bleak until her daughter pushes her into buying a 'guilt gift' of a PC, complete with modem. Master shopper becomes master hacker, and Rosalie is back on top.

Rosalie Goes Shopping is an anarchic dig at American capitalism from Percy Aldon, the director of Salmonberries and Bagdad Café.
