Synopsis

The movie relates the story of Alain Marécaux, one of the defendants of the Outreau's case. Halted in november 2001 with 13 other people, wrongly accused about pedophilia acts, he has past 23 months into jail. He was obliged to sell his study of court bailiff, his wife broke up with him and he has been separated from his children before to be finally acquitted in december 2005. His mom let herself die of sadness (of hunger) during the first month of his imprisonment. He made many suicide attempts and a hunger strike and was nearly close to death at the moment of his release. Ten years later, he rebuilt himself in part: a new wife, a new study... but never achieved to recreate true links with his children.
