Aurore is a 2005 Quebec biographical drama film that was directed by Luc Dionne and produced by Denise Robert and Daniel Louis.

It is based on the true story of Aurore Gagnon, one of Quebec's best-known victims of child abuse.

By that point however, Marie-Anne Caron has become so distraught from the news given prior that she has been driven to madness, to the point where she begins depressingly humming and begins showing signs of false memory, calling Télesphore "Charles" and talking about an unconfirmed sister not visiting her as an example (She could be referring to Marie-Anne Houde but that is not clarified).

This increases her deterioration and results in her having to be moved to another room with a restraint around her hand, as her madness became so severe that she tried inflicting self harm by attempting to cut off her ring finger.

One day, at the general store owned by Oréus Mailhot, Fortierville's justice of the peace, two villagers confront Télesphore about the deaths of his two children.

Exilda wants to go to the Gagnon house and check on Aurore, but Arcadius shuts her down, telling her to mind her own business.

Exilda accuses her husband of being afraid of Télesphore, and she starts to make her way over to the Gagnons', but she relents after Arcadius admonishes her.

A few days later, Aurore wanders away from home and sits in front of an oncoming train, but Télesphore and Marie-Anne manage to save her just in time.

Aurore avoids the question and instead writes a letter to Marie-Anne, asking her and Télesphore to pick her up and take her back home.

Sister Anna suggests that Aurore is only lying out of fear, but the Mother Superior promptly rebukes her for questioning the priest.

While waiting for her stepdaughter, Marie-Anne steals two gold clips from the church's altar and slips them in her dress pocket.

Marie-Anne Caron's father, Nérée, shows up to Oréus' shop and demands he do something to protect Aurore.

Oréus promptly confronts Father Leduc with the marriage contract and threatens to report him to the local bishop if he refuses to cooperate.

When Oréus and several others, including doctors, arrive at Aurore's home, it is too late—she has collapsed on the stairs and has suffered another beating at the hands of Marie-Anne.

Father Leduc confesses to Oréus that he never wanted to move to Fortierville; his dream has been to make it to the Vatican.

She is, however, given a life sentence, but health issues force her to leave the jail, and she later dies from breast and brain cancer.

The following Sunday, during his sermon, Father Leduc urges the people of Fortierville to put Aurore's tragic death behind them, but Oréus swears that he will never forget it.
