Bébé is born into a dying world. He opens his eyes in a family whose own eyes are closed. He cries out in a house where people stay shushed and sequestered. Bébé brings chaos. He is not loved. Before she suffocates in this noxious atmosphere, young mother Hélène breaks away from the shredding family fabric, abandoning her parents, brother and child, all of whom smoulder slowly in their respective silos. She leaves behind the gloomy indoor swimming pool to embrace the immensity of the river, searching for her child’s father, a builder of better worlds. A one-night-stand narrated in reverse, masterfully twisted, the better to bring out the blind spots…in broad daylight.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKER
Emmanuel Tardif approaches cinema as an abstract and revealing journey. Having extended his understanding of film production and direction at Concordia University, he pursued his work as a writer, director and editor on his first feature film, Speak Love (2019), which took several years to write, prepare and finance. Since then, Emmanuel has co-founded the production company Les Rapailleurs, with which he wrote, directed and produced his second film, Heirdoms (2021), as well as his third feature film, In Broad Daylight, to be released in 2023. Emmanuel is working on his first documentary feature with The Walker, a portrait of an autistic man who writes his first short film and performs the main role.
