Trois jours et une vie

A film adaptation of "Trois jours et une vie" was released in 2019, directed by Nicolas Boukhrief. It stars Philippe Torreton and Charles Berling.

While "Trois jours et une vie" is a standalone novel, it shares Pierre Lemaitre's characteristic exploration of moral ambiguity and the long-term consequences of a single event, themes also prominent in his acclaimed "The Great Swindle" (Au revoir là-haut) series.

The story unfolds across different time periods, specifically focusing on the events of 1999 and then jumping forward to 2011, allowing the reader to see the lasting impact of the initial tragedy.
