Une amie dévouée, a new 4-episode French drama mini-series, plunges viewers into an intense story of lies and manipulation. Created by Jean-Baptiste Delafon(Baron Noir) and Fanny Burdino(La Révolution), the series stars Laure Calamy, an actress widely acclaimed for her performances in Dix pour cent and Antoinette dans les Cévennes. Laure Calamy plays Christelle, a complex character whose life is turned upside down after the Paris attacks of November 13, 2015. Inspired by Alexandre Kauffmann's investigative book La mythomane du Bataclan, the series is directed by Just Philippot(La Nuée), adding an even more captivating dimension to this psychological thriller. Une amie dévouée promises to be a disturbing plunge into the human psyche, where the quest for recognition can lead to extremes.
On the night of the attacks of November 13, 2015, Christelle was paralyzed by terror. She should have been present at the Eagles of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan, but fate decided otherwise. Upset, she began contacting survivors to offer her support, and this growing relationship with the victims gave her a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Gradually, the idea of creating an association takes shape, and Chris becomes a key figure among survivors. However, as his influence grows, some begin to question his past. Inconsistencies emerge: her testimonies don't add up. Is she a true victim or a manipulator? How far will she go to maintain her lies? This psychological thriller explores the boundary between reality and lies, revealing a deeply troubled character.
With its plot based on true events, Une amie dévouée is aimed above all at adult audiences who enjoy psychological dramas and intense thrillers. Fans of series such as Le Serpent or Laëtitia will find a captivating plot here, where manipulation and lies are at the heart of the story. The series' originality lies in its exploration of the psychological consequences of the November 13 attacks, a subject rarely treated from this angle in fiction. The character of Christelle, played by Laure Calamy, promises to be a troubling mirror of the psychological drifts that can result from an inordinate quest for attention. If you liked Dix pour cent for Calamy's performance, or Un petit frère for its emotional depth, you'll certainly be captivated by this mini-series.
Between manipulation, false memories and the quest for identity, Une amie dévouée is shaping up to be a must-see series this fall. With a promising performance by Laure Calamy and a plot inspired by real events, this mini-series raises troubling questions about the construction of memory and the quest for recognition. Join us on Max from October 11, 2024 to discover this intriguing and profound work, where each episode will gradually unveil the mysteries of a life based on lies.
