Nesting (French: Peau à peau, lit. "Skin to Skin") is a Canadian thriller film, directed by Chloé Cinq-Mars and released in 2025.[1] The film stars Rose-Marie Perreault as Pénélope, a new mother who witnesses a violent robbery that triggers memories of the long-ago death of her younger sister Charlotte (Marie Bélanger), driving her into a deep post-partum depression.[2]
The cast also includes Simon Landry-Désy as her husband Gaspard, and Saladin Dellers as Edward, a former boyfriend of Pénélope's who wants to rekindle their relationship despite Pénélope's marriage.
The film was shot in summer 2023, under the working title Oublier Charlotte.[3] It was partially inspired by Cinq-Mars's own experience of post-partum depression following the birth of her first child.[1]
The film premiered at the 29th Fantasia International Film Festival in July 2025,[4] where Cinq-Mars won the award for Best Canadian Director.[5]
