La recluse de Saint-Flour: contre enquête

2026 · 75 min · ★ 7.0 · Documentary, Drama

On 20 October 1983, the GIGN discovered a woman in Saint-Flour (Auvergne) who had been confined for nearly four decades: Esther Albouy. Her head had been shaved at the Liberation for alleged acts of collaboration, and she is said to have been locked away by her own family. It was thus that the young woman is said to have gone mad, dragging her brothers into her delusions and turning this secluded existence into a nightmare.
