Plot

On the precipice of matrimonial bliss, the charming and enigmatic Agathe Plichard plunges into an untimely demise in the mystic waters of the Creuse river. Her life, a beautiful blend of diverse cultures, ends abruptly just a week before her eagerly anticipated wedding. The police, in their customary haste, label it a tragic accident - a simple case of drowning. But for Félix Bricourt, her doting fiancé, this explanation is a hollow echo, a veil draped over a foul play that he believes led to Agathe's death. Coming from a wealthy and influential dynasty, Félix finds himself at odds with his family's desires as he embarks on a mission to uncover the truth behind Agathe's death. His relentless pursuit of justice ignites a spark in the pragmatic police inspector Carole Levasseur. Drawn to Félix's conviction, she too, decides to reject the cold comfort of the 'accident' theory, joining him in the search for truth. Their quest takes a dramatic turn when an independent journalist meets a gruesome end. As this murder reverberates through their investigation, the duo find themselves navigating a labyrinth of secrets and lies. Their journey forces them to stir the murky waters of the past, unearthing the buried skeletons of the forgotten "Children of the Creuse" affair. "Children of the Lie" (2018) is a captivating tale of resilience, love, and the relentless pursuit of truth, as it weaves through a cobweb of deceit and unravels the secrets that lurk beneath the surface.
