No Trace (French: Nulle trace) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Simon Lavoie and released in 2021.[1] An exploration of the conflict between rationality and faith, the film centres on N (Monique Gosselin), a cynical smuggler who is escorting Awa (Nathalie Doummar), a devoutly religious woman, to their country's border after an unspecified event has threatened Awa's safety.[2]
The film had been slated to premiere at the 2020 Festival du nouveau cinéma,[3] but was cancelled when the festival shifted from in-person to online screening due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec.[4]
It premiered at the 2021 Slamdance Film Festival,[5] where it won a Grand Jury Prize in the Breakouts category.[6] It had its Canadian premiere at the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma,[7] before opening commercially in May.[8]
