Confessions is the story of Carl Laplante, who, out of love, chose silence following a tragedy that called his whole life into question. To survive, he waited until he was 18 and left family and friends, without hearing from them afterwards. It was 15 years ago. Now his name is Simon, he invented a new past and met Brigitte with whom he has shared his life for eight years. At 33, despite the imposture, Simon seems to have found a certain peace, thanks to the deep bonds he has forged with his new friends, his co-workers and his in-laws who adore him.
