Babine - 2008 French Canadian film by Luc Picard. This is the story of a man called Babin and his fellow villagers: Toussaint Brodeur the Fly-tamer, a blacksmith in love with a widow from St. Barnabé who cheats on him with the Old Priest: Méo the hairdresser whose love for the bottle gives his customers strange hairdos; Madame Gélinas, who has been pregnant for the last two decades and who can't seem to make her cakes rise up anymore; the beautiful Anna Domini who has been crying her eyes out and peeling petals off daisies ever since her true love went to War; and last but not least, Babin, the Witch's son, at odds with the strict New Priest. Discover the world of Fred Pellerin, a place where oxen can fall in love and where a clock can grow from where a pocket watch is sown. Stars Vincent-Guillaume Otis, Luc Picard, Alexis Martin, Isabel Richer and René Richard Cyr. 110 minutes, French audio with French or English subtitles. Unrated.
