Daylight (Dutch: Daglicht) is a 2013 Dutch drama film based on the novel by Marion Pauw [nl].

Plot

Iris, a driven and incredibly accomplished attorney, struggles to find a balance between being a single mother and excelling in her demanding career. During a stay at her mother's place, she unexpectedly discovers a hidden family secret. It was revealed that she has a long-lost brother, whose existence was kept hidden for a long time. Ray, an individual with autism, has been confined to a detention clinic for the past two decades due to being found guilty of the horrifying killings of his neighbor and her infant daughter. Iris deeply empathizes with her brother's situation, particularly because she notices alarming resemblances between him and her own son, Aron. She attempts to clear her brother's name and sets out on a quest for the truth, only to uncover secrets much more sinister than she ever anticipated.
