Synopsis
Le 5 juin 1974 Christian Ranucci, vingt ans, est interpellé à son domicile. Officiellement pour un délit de fuite après un accrochage qui a eu lieu deux jours plus tôt. En fait, il est soupçonné d'avoir enlevé la petite Maria Dolores Rambla, huit ans, et de l'avoir sauvagement assassinée. Un geste atroce, qui scandalise la France entière. En garde à vue, le petit frère de la victime ne reconnaît pas Christian Ranucci. Pas plus qu'un couple témoin de l'accident. Après dix-huit heures d'interrogatoire, le jeune homme passe aux aveux, puis se rétracte et fait état des pressions que les enquêteurs lui ont fait subir. Il est vrai qu'il subsiste de nombreuses zones d'ombre. En outre, certains détails ne collent pas. Pourtant, seule la mère de l'accusé, Héloïse Mathon, croit en son innocence. Le procès s'ouvre dans un climat tendu, quelques semaines après un autre meurtre d'enfant. Face à une opinion déchaînée, Héloïse fait front. Elle décide de tenter tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour sauver son fils, qui sera condamné à mort et guillotiné, le président de la République ayant refusé de le gracier.Actors

Using film made at American prisons, Leuchter talked about his upbringing where his father was a corrections officer. Through his family associations, young Leuchter claimed he was able to witness an execution performed in an electric chair. Leuchter's impression of the event was that the electric chairs used by American prisons were unsafe and often ineffective. The event led him to design modifications to the device that were adopted by many American states.
