À perdre la raison



Joachim Lafosse : 2012
Our Children

Murielle and Mounir love each other passionately. Ever since he was a boy, the young man has been living with Doctor Pinget who provides him with a comfortable life. When Mounir and Murielle decide to marry and have children, the couple's dependence on the doctor becomes excessive. Murielle finds herself caught up in an unhealthy emotional climate that insidiously leads the family towards a tragic outcome. Inspired by the real-life case of Geneviève Lhermitte in 2007, when a Belgian mother killed her five infant children before attempting suicide, this penetrating psychological drama won the Un Certain Regard award for Best Actress at Festival de Cannes 2012.
