What happens

Babysitter is a 2022 dark comedy film directed by Monia Chokri. Adapted by Catherine Léger from her 2017 play Baby-sitter, the film stars Patrick Hivon as Cédric, a man who goes viral after a video surfaces of him drunkenly kissing a female reporter during a live broadcast. Meanwhile, his wife Nadine (Chokri) is struggling with post-partum depression following the birth of their child. Cédric hires a young babysitter (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) to take care of the baby, to the surprise of Nadine, with whom she eventually develops her own special relationship. A co-production between Canada and France, the film was shot in Montreal, Quebec, from August to October 2020. It was submitted for consideration by the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, but was not selected. Babysitter premiered in the Midnight section of the Sundance Film Festival on 22 January 2022. The film was released theatrically in France on 27 April 2022 by BAC Films and in Quebec on 3 June 2022 by Maison 4:3. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
