Richelieu (French: Richelieu (Québec) Dissidente (France)), also released as Temporaries in some territories, is a Canadian drama film, directed by Pier-Philippe Chevigny and released in 2023.[1] The film stars Ariane Castellanos as Ariane, a woman who is hired as a Spanish-French translator at a food processing plant in Quebec that has a large staff of temporary migrant workers from Guatemala, but becomes an ally and advocate for the workers as she realizes the need to defend them from abuse and exploitation by owner Stéphane (Marc-André Grondin).[2]

The cast also includes Nelson Coronado, Micheline Bernard, Ève Duranceau, Luis Oliva, Gerardo Miranda, Antonio Ortega, Émile Schneider and Marc Beaupré.[3]

Chevigny's full-length directorial debut, the film entered production in 2021, under the working title Rive-Sud.[4]

The film premiered on June 8, 2023, in competition at the Tribeca Film Festival.[2] It had its Canadian premiere in July at the Fantasia Film Festival,[5] and was commercially released in the fall.
