Manon has been a defendant in the Tarnac case for ten years, accused with eight other people of participating in a terrorist undertaking while sabotaging high-speed lines in France. As their trial approaches, Audrey Ginestet is taking her camera to join the group of women who helps Manon preparing her defense.
In novembre 2008, the french anti-terrorist police raided a farm in the Tarnac village in Corrèze. For the media and the state, the Tarnac Nine was the new enemy group of conspirators against the state who claimed Julien Coupat to be the author of The Coming Insurrection book. Coupat spent over six months in jail before being released on bail. He was held for a significantly longer period than other members of the Tarnac Nine because French police believed him to be the leader of the group, which they described as an anarchist cell. On April 12, 2018, Coupat and other members of the Tarnac Nine were acquitted of the most significant remaining charges, particularly conspiracy and sabotage, although some members were still convicted of lesser, symbolic charges, and ordered to pay fines.
