So you have to be very carefull. I saw once a tv film dealing with that kind of point of view. The movie shows that obviously the child is abused, the script let the spectator think the father might be the pedophile. The mother is shown as it's can be her... as she is the mother. The father slowly notices that more and more people around him are suspecting him (looses friends, job....). We learn that current laws about pedophilia are made unequally against the men and not women. About 3/4 of the film is like that then, I don't remember how/when it's happening (no scene is explicitly shown) we see that the mother is actually the true pedophile. I don't remember how the film ends. Just that I think, the father is destroyed by this experience, lost all his friends, familiy, etc... and doubt is still around him. I would say the film is french... This theme is very “on the edgeof a razor” and can be dangerous as you could fall into many traps and miss the point of showing how the father is experiencing.

I'd probably watch it if I lived over there. It'd be challenging to make it realistic though... Hmm it sounds quite interesting. I’d probably watch it if I lived over there.
