A wealthy family withdraws from society after something unforeseen happens. When one of its members leaves the house on the pretext of paying an innocent visit to someone outside, the family’s fragile equilibrium is disturbed. In Broad Daylight presents an inscrutable, tantalisingly elusive fictional world enhanced by a colourful array of absurd characters.

Since she has witnessed a conflagration, Adèle cannot stop playing with matches. The day after, while walking to school, she's caught on the act by a strange firefighter-dressed figure which starts following her. Unable to beat the figure away, the schooler resigns herself to revisit the still fuming ashes of a painful end of high school day.
