Released in 2023 the film dramatizes a true story from Dupuis's own childhood, when her mother accidentally left her sister locked in the car on a hot summer day. Dupuis herself didn't do or say anything about it because she was mad at her sister for other reasons.The film stars Gabrielle Poulin as the mother, and real-life sisters Agathe Ledoux and Simone Ledoux as the sisters Maxime and Fred.The film premiered at the 2023 Brussels Short Film Festival, where it was the winner of the ARTE Award in the international competition.
