Sam Karmann
Based on true events, Laetitia chronicles the disappearance of a teenage girl in western France. Left to reconstruct the teenager's final hours for answers, investigators begin to uncover deeply troubling details of Laetitia's and her twin sister Jessica's upbringing. As they search to uncover the details behind her final days, this highly polarizing case casts a sharp eye on France's legal system, police force, social services, and how a single act of violence can impact an entire country.
