The ephemeris of August 1: in 2003, the tragic disappearance of Marie Trintignant

Marie Trintignant , filming the TV movie "Colette" in Vilnius, Lithuania, was the victim of a violent argument in her hotel room with her partner at the time, Bertrand Cantat. Transferred two days later, in a coma, to the Neuilly-sur-Seine hospital, the young woman died from her injuries. The Noir Désir singer was sentenced to eight years in prison for fatal blows. He remained behind bars for four years before being granted parole.

The Bertrand Cantat affair will have the merit of giving rise to the crucial term "femicide" , formerly known as a "crime of passion". At the time, the facts were reported by the media and celebrities, almost reversing the roles, making the rocker the victim of the crime he had committed. All except the singer Lio, who took advantage of her numerous public appearances to angrily assert that one does not die of love.

In the face of domestic violence, solutions exist. While around a hundred women lose their lives each year at the hands of their partners, 3919 , a public listening service, is available to support and help victims.
