Babine is a Canadian fantasy drama film, directed by Luc Picard and released in 2008. Adapted from Fred Pellerin's book Il faut prendre le taureau par les contes, the film stars as Babine, the village idiot of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, Quebec. A lifelong outcast because his mother (Isabel Richer) was believed to be the town witch, he becomes the immediate suspect when the town's church catches fire, killing the parish priest (Julien Poulin). However, he will receive the support of the village's merchant, Toussaint Brodeur (Luc Picard), as he attempts to prove his innocence.
