In Broad Daylight ( French: Au grand jour) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Emmanuel Tardif and released in 2022. [1] The film centres on a reclusive wealthy family who have spent months living in virtual isolation in the family mansion to prevent their community from finding out that daughter Hélène ( Amaryllis Tremblay) has gotten pregnant from a one-night stand, only to have their fragile equilibrium challenged when Hélène leaves the house soon after the baby's birth to look for the father. [2]
The cast also includes Karine Gonthier-Hyndman and David Savard as Hélène's parents, Elijah Patrice as her brother, Marianne Fortier as a relative mystified by her family's lack of contact, and Jean-Simon Leduc as Antonin, the baby's father. [2]
The film entered production in 2020 in Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford, Quebec. [3]
It premiered in the Proxima competition for emerging filmmakers at the 56th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in July 2022. [1] It had its Canadian premiere at the 2022 Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival in September, and its Quebec premiere at the Cinemania film festival in November. [4] At Cinemania, the film received an honorable mention from the Jury Prize jury. [5]
Commercial release was slated for April 2023, but was cancelled in January after Tardif was arrested for allegedly murdering his mother. [6]
