Guilty (, ) is a 2011 French drama film directed by Vincent Garenq about the Outreau trial. Garenq was nominated for the 2012 Best Adaptation César Award and Philippe Torreton was nominated as Best Actor.
Synopsis The movie tells the story of Alain Marécaux, one of the defendants of the Outreau case. Arrested in November 2001 along with 13 other people, wrongly accused of acts of pedophilia, he had spent 23 months in jail. He was forced to give up his training to be a court bailiff, his wife left him and he had been separated from his children before finally being acquitted in December 2005. His mom had let herself die of sadness (of hunger) during the first months of his imprisonment. He had made many suicide attempts and went on a hunger strike and was nearly close to death at the time of his release. Ten years later, he has partially rebuilt himself: a new wife, a new study... but never succeeded in recreating true bonds with his children.
