Inspired by true events, this psychological thriller follows Christelle \u201cChris\u201d Blandin, a rock music-obsessed Parisian, who,\u00a0 after witnessing the harrowing November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks, quickly latches onto a community of survivors. Claiming that her best friend Vincent was one of dozens critically injured at the Bataclan Theatre, Chris becomes an indispensable resource for the group, working her way into a prominent role in a survivors\u2019 association. Though her commitment seems relentless, discrepancies begin to pepper her story \u2013 raising serious doubts among the true victims of the tragedy. A thought-provoking four-part miniseries, The Confidante (Une Amie D\u00e9vou\u00e9e)<\/em> questions the very nature of truth\u2026 and the web of lies left in one woman\u2019s wake.<\/p>\n
