It was 20:25 on a Monday evening in November 2020 when Caroline Darian got the call that changed everything.

On the other end of the phone was her mother, Gisèle Pelicot.

"She announced to me that she discovered that morning that [my father] Dominique had been drugging her for about 10 years so that different men could rape her," Ms Darian recalls in an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme's Emma Barnett.

"At that moment, I lost what was a normal life," says Ms Darian, now 46.
