Première vague ("First Wave") is a Canadian dramatic anthology film, which premiered in 2021. [1] The first feature film ever produced by Kino Montréal, a filmmaking collective which otherwise specializes in short films, the film tells four interrelated stories about life in Montreal during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. [2] The film was directed by Max Dufaud, Reda Lahmouid, Kevin T. Landry and Rémi Fréchette, with each of the directors writing and helming one of the four segments. [2]
Daniel (Fayolle Jean Jr.), a delivery driver, becomes overwhelmed with work while caring for his sick father (Fayolle Jean). Fanny (Myranda Plourde), a young woman who has just recently moved to Montreal, finds herself becoming more fearful as her roommate ignores social distancing rules. Sex worker Marianne (Marie-Sophie Roy) watches her income dry up as her mother contracts COVID-19 in a nursing home. Samuel (Mathieu Lorain Dignard) slowly unravels in isolation after both losing his job and breaking up with his girlfriend. [3] In addition to some interconnecting plot points between the four stories, the segments are also linked by footage of premier François Legault's real-life press conferences. [2]
The film premiered on April 28, 2021 at the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma, [4] before opening commercially on May 14. [3]
