What happens

In Broad Daylight (Chinese: 白日之下) is a 2023 Hong Kong crime drama film directed by Lawrence Kan, from a screenplay co-written with Tong Chui-ping. It stars Jennifer Yu as an undercover journalist who investigates the suspected abuse of patients at a local nursing home. The film was inspired by two different nursing home scandals that happened in Hong Kong. In 2015, the Cambridge Nursing Home was exposed for stripping some of their female residents naked and leaving them outside while they were waiting for a shower. A year later, a former director of the Bridge of Rehabilitation care home was found guilty of assaulting a visually-impaired, underage female resident. The film was released to positive critical reception, with reviewers praising the performances of Yu, Rachel Leung, and Bowie Lam. The movie earned 16 nominations at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards.
