In 2003, his second short film, Jan (22 min, Hdcam, color), with the French actor Jeannick Gravelines, was produced in France by Tom Dercourt.
During the shooting of the second half of the film, on location in Tokyo, Rotger started to work on a new project, initially intended to be published as a novel.
Based on both accurate events and fictional material, Story of Jen is presented as a reconstruction of a personal experience «It was like I was writing, feeling my distant friend’s hand on my shoulder».
Story of Jen was shot in 2008, in Canada, starring Laurence Leboeuf, a young Canadian actress winner of 2009 Jutra award, Cesar-awarded French actress Marina Hands, and Tony Ward, an underground icon previously starring in Bruce LaBruce’s controversial Hustler White.
Cahiers du cinéma praised the "unique uncompromised vision", when others were just appalled by the graphic violence and the "disturbing description of a distressed adolescent psyche".
