The Double Mother
The Double Mother | Michel Bussi
1 post | 2 read
Four-year-old Malone Moulin is haunted by nightmares of being handed over to a complete stranger and begins claiming his mother is not his real mother. Convinced that Malone is telling the truth, school psychologist Vasile approaches police commander Marianne Augresse with the case. Not knowing why a child would lie and with perhaps her own own maternal and protective instinct kicking in, Marianne takes Vasile's plead for help seriously.

Mehso-so

Suspensful plot twists and a nice premise: three-year-old Malone recounts awkward facts and claims his mother is not his real mother and Vasile, his school therapist, is the only one who believes him. Vasile approaches the police who begin a race against the clock to uncover the truth before the child loses his memories for good given his young age. Who planted those memories in Malone's mind and how did he succeed to keep them for so long?
