Ésimésac
''Ésimésac'' is a 2012 Canadian fantasy drama film, directed by Luc Picard. Although an unofficial sequel to the 2008 film ''Babine'', unlike the earlier film ''Ésimésac'' was not directly based on Fred Pellerin's previously published stories; instead, the film's screenplay placed some of Pellerin's established characters in a new original story.

He convinces the village of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton to plant and maintain a community garden after an economic crisis has left many of the townspeople hungry, but finds himself in conflict with village blacksmith Riopel's ( Gildor Roy) plan to focus on building tracks for a railroad. The film's cast also includes Picard as Toussaint Brodeur, Sophie Nélisse as Marie Gélinas, Marie-Chantal Perron as Jeannette Brodeur, Marie Brassard as Madame Gélinas, Maude Laurendeau as Lurette ...
