Adel is a cop.
Member of the BRI (research and intervention brigade).
He entered the Bataclan on November 13, 2015 with his group, moments after the killing perpetrated by Islamist terrorists.
He recounts cell phone ringing in
"dead silence"
, the smell of blood.
"There were bodies piled up, dead or alive, we waded through blood and organic matter."
Adel does not testify in
November 13: Fluctuat nec mergitur
, the documentary by the Naudet brothers, nor in any report or account on the attacks that bloodied Saint-Denis and Paris.
It is a character played by Reda Kateb, in
In therapy
, the series by Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache which will be broadcast on Arte at the beginning of 2021. One of the rare French fictions to evoke the attacks of November 13.
Not with images but with words since Adel is a patient of psychoanalyst Philippe Dayan (Frédéric Pierrot), who consults in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, near the Bataclan.
