Charlotte
Charlotte grew up in an upper-class Parisian quarter with her adoptive parents. She had a tough childhood, her mother was bipolar and her father was an alcoholic.
She was curious to know more about her adoption from Brazil and started investigating when she was 14 years old. Charlotte was told that she supposedly was found on the streets but she mistrusted this story.
What she found in search for the truth was startling, none of her adoption papers – which were kept a secret from her – made any sense and her inquiries about her Brazilian origins remained unanswered.
