Julio Manrique directs one of the most gruesome and emblematic texts by the French writer and director Emmanuel Carrère. A chilling tale based on a true story that plunges us into stupor.
In January 1993, Jean-Claude Romand killed his wife, his children, his parents, his dog and tried to commit suicide, without success. During the following days, it was discovered that he was not a doctor, as everyone believed, nor a researcher for the World Health Organization, and that everything that was known about his life was a lie.
He spent his days in the car, in the service areas of the highways, and when he realized that he was about to be discovered, he preferred to kill his loved ones rather than face their gaze.
Emmanuel Carrère read the first articles about the case in the newspaper Liberation and immediately decided to write a book, his first non-fiction book. The story of a criminal told in the first person: that of Carrère himself.
L’adversari is performed by Pere Arquillué and Carles Martínez as. Language: Catalan. Recommended age: from 16 years old.
