L'Adversaire / The Adversary

'Jean-Marc Faure is a brilliant doctor. He is
married to Christine, a charming woman, and they
have two wonderful children. Surrounded by friends
he's known since his days at medical school, he is
constantly talking about the latest developments
in his field. His work often requires him to
attend conferences in Switzerland, lectures at the
University of Dijon and affluent discussions with
colleagues at the World Health Organization
(W.H.O.) in Geneva. Helives a charmed life. One
day, the unimaginable happens. Jean-Marc murders
his wife, two children, his parents and then
commits suicide. What the investigation reveals is
even more difficult to believe. He never finished
his medical studies. Unemployed, he drives around
aimlessly, sitting at the W.H.O.'s cafeteria,
sneaking into lectures and stealing documentation
on the latest research to keep up his charade.
Pretending to invest family's and friends' money,
he has been living off their savings for years.
For the last eighteen years, Jean-Marc's entire
life has been a fabrication. A tragic story of a
man, who rather than those closest to him know the
truth or face it himself, he chose the lie...and
death.'
