Description
The trial of Dominique Pelicot has shocked the world, but behind the headlines lies a mother's courage and a daughter's determination. In 2020, Caroline Darian received a call from the police, revealing a family secret that would change her life forever.
Her father's crimes were unimaginable, and yet, Caroline shares a remarkable story of her mother Gisèle, who refused to be defined by trauma. With remarkable resilience, Gisèle continued to live, to find joy, and to fight back against the abuse. Caroline's own testimony in court marked a turning point, shifting the focus from victims to abusers.
This is a story of collective fight, of women standing together against violence and trauma. It is a testament to the power of courage, resilience, and the human spirit.
