Antoine comes from a family where beliefs and superstitions die hard. His life changes three days after his birth when his father dies suddenly on a construction site. Considered the child of misfortune by those around him, he will suffer the worst abuse. Blows, isolation, violence, exhaustion… he grew up in hatred. At four years old, he was placed in a home. This new beginning will save him. But even today, after numerous suicide attempts, he struggles to find a balance. How do those who, like Antoine, have experienced a childhood with executioner parents survive? What adults do they become? In this episode of "Dans les Yeux d'Olivier", the podcast adapted by Europe 1 Studio, he confides his story to Olivier Delacroix.
