## Synopsis

The Night Logan Woke Up (2022) is a Canadian French-language psychological drama miniseries created by Xavier Dolan for Canal+ and Club Illico. Set in a small Quebec town, it follows the Larouche family, whose members include Mireille Larouche (Julie Le Breton), Julien Larouche (Patrick Hivon), Denis Larouche (Éric Bruneau) and Elliot Larouche (Xavier Dolan). After an unspeakable event on a cold October night in 1991, the family binds itself to a shared concealment, and the story then moves thirty years forward as those buried secrets surface. The engine of the series is the family's unstoppable pursuit of reconciliation, with each of its five episodes alternating between the past and the present so that the hidden history comes into focus gradually. Its tone is brooding, intimate and emotionally raw, with a quiet, claustrophobic dread running beneath domestic scenes. Viewers who appreciate the family reckonings of Big Little Lies and the small town unease of Twin Peaks will find resonance here. Anne Dorval and Magalie Lépine-Blondeau add further weight to the ensemble. It is a compact, one-season limited series that rewards patient, attentive viewing.
