Under a Dark Sun

2025

Under a Dark Sun (2025) is a French family drama series.

The plot follows 25-year-old Alba Mazier (Ava Baya), a single mother who takes a seasonal job at a luxurious rose growing estate in the village of Eze on the French Riveria.

It’s not long before Alba becomes a suspect in the murder of the patriarch who runs the estate, Arnaud Lasserre (Thibault de Montalembert).

The suspicions arise because Arnaud has left Alba a share of his estate in his will. This is the first time Alba becomes aware her parents aren’t her biological parents.

*Spoiler Alert* There are more family secrets divulged during the 6-part series, one being that Alba isn’t Arnaud’s daughter but Mathieu’s. Mathieu (Guillaume Gouix) is Arnauld’s son.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
