Babysitter (2022 film)

Babysitter is a 2022 Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Monia Chokri. Adapted from a theatrical play by Catherine Léger, the film stars Patrick Hivon as Cédric, a man who goes viral after video surfaces of him drunkenly kissing a 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 babysitter (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) to take care of the baby, to the surprise of Nadine, with whom she eventually develops her own special relationship.

The film was shot in Montreal, Quebec in 2020. It was submitted for consideration by the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, but was not selected.
