The Care-Breakers

Supported by their mother's inheritance, Ysé, a young woman suffering from social anxiety, and Simon, her narcoleptic brother, are stuck in a relationship of interdependence and lead a life of idleness, devoid of meaning and bearings. On her 21st birthday, when she finally has access to her share of the inheritance, Ysé learns that an additional clause is in the will: to do forty hours of volunteer work at the Centre Béatrice-Caron, an eponymous organization founded by their mother. This ordeal will push the young woman to face her anxieties, her mourning and to question her way of life. Ultimately, she will have to choose between the toxicity of comfort or emancipation.

Domestic violence, both physical and sexual, has regularly made the headlines in recent years. But behind these acts, there is always a context of psychological violence between the abuser and the victim. This violence, which is increasingly recognized as being as damaging, if not more so, than physical violence, is nevertheless largely misunderstood. In her quest to help demystify this type of violence, host Schelby Jean-Baptiste talks to several experts and victims, including special guests such as India Desjardins, Lili Boisvert and Khate Lessard.
