Bête noire(2021)

Bête noire is a French psychological drama that follows the aftermath of a shocking crime committed by 16-year-old Jérémy. His mother, desperate to understand how her seemingly ordinary son could commit such a brutal act, teams up with a psychiatrist-coroner investigating the case. Together they excavate Jérémy's past, searching for the moment everything fractured—the hidden trauma, the turning point, the catalyst that transformed a normal teenager into someone capable of the unforgivable. The series unfolds as a tense inquiry into the roots of violence, parental guilt, and the invisible forces that can reshape a young mind. Dark and introspective, Bête noire examines how a single act of violence ripples through a family and community, forcing those closest to Jérémy to confront uncomfortable truths about what they may have missed.
