The trial of Dominique Pelicot which began on 2 September 2024 has captured the world' s attention.

In November 2020 Caroline Darian received a call from the police in Carpentras. Her father was in police custody. The seizure of his computer equipment revealed the unthinkable: since 2013 he had drugged his wife before handing her over in a state of unconsciousness to men from all ages and stages of life. With exceptional courage Darian recounts the earth-shattering discovery that a loved one her own father is capable of the worst. But more importantly she shares the remarkable story of her mother Gisèle and how she carried on living without self-pity while learning to manage all of the things her husband once took care of. She shares how her mother managed to maintain her joie de vivre in circumstances none of us could imagine. Gisèle has won acclaim around the world after she gave up her right to anonymity and opted for a public trial a trial in which Caroline herself has testified turning the tables: the shame no longer borne by the victims in silence but directed at last to the abusers. Together mother and daughter reveal another side to the violence committed against women as they bravely transform their private trauma into a collective fight.
