Synopsis
The town of Mazan was the scene of the most sordid case of violence against a woman, Gisèle Pélicot. She had been drugged without her knowledge by her husband and raped by 51 men over several years. The horror of what happened shook the whole world, as witnessed by the throngs of foreign journalists present at the trial.
For three months, the 51 defendants took the stand week after week in front of their loved ones: mother, sister, wife, daughter...
How did these women feel about their men's indictment? Do they feel betrayed and sullied or, on the contrary, do they intend to forgive? How can they recover from such a nightmare?
