Can hypnosis implant false memories in you?

Six years ago, 14-year-old Chloé committed suicide. And Lucas, her father, lost his memory during the six months surrounding her death—an amnesia resulting from a traumatic shock that prospered in a body eaten away by alcohol abuse and overmedication.

And Lucas, her father, lost his memory during the six months surrounding her death—an amnesia resulting from a traumatic shock that prospered in a body eaten away by alcohol abuse and overmedication. In order to help him recover his memory, Sam, his psychiatrist and friend, tries a new treatment combining medication and hypnosis. But more than his appointments with his shrink, it’s Mia who really pulls Lucas out of his lethargy. Victim of a particularly savage gang rape, she is being treated at the clinic Lucas owns. The teenager girl is mute and refuses any form of contact with anyone—except him. And one day, she reveals the names of her attackers—two of Lucas’s childhood friends—and the place it happened— his house. From that point, everything spins out of control. Lucas’s memory brings back images of two rapes: one that took place not long before Chloé’s suicide, and Mia’s, less than two months prior. When he was under the influence of medications, alcohol, and drugs, did he rape one of Chloé’s friends? Did he rape Mia? But nothing in these memories makes sense. And when he goes to question his two possible accomplices, one dies in an accident and the other is found dead. Is he a serial rapist? Did he commit these acts unknowingly? And what secrets are hiding in his memories, too contradictory to be true? In his quest for the truth, Lucas has just one clue: the memory of his loafers stained with a few drops of blood…
