Je suis la maman du bourreau - Clémentine Célarié

By the time Gabrielle discovers what a monster her beloved son really is, it's already too late... Beneath this stern woman's armor, a mother's crumbling heart bursts forth. Faltering, Gabrielle sets off in search of herself. Where did she go wrong? Did she love badly? Or simply loved too much? Sitting in a chair, on a bed or even on the floor, standing or kneeling, she recounts how she discovered that her son was "a devil". She recalls the first warnings in the local press, the shock she felt, the denial, the meeting with a victim, then the cruel truth about her child. Alternately serious, disillusioned or ecstatic, Clémentine Célarié plays Gabrielle de Miremont with impressive dexterity. Clémentine Célarié takes us into the depths of the human soul, where disappointed hopes, betrayed promises and the invincible love of a mother collide.
