They appear alongside a noisy and colorful carnival procession, and when the carnival is over, its bright joy remains in the eyes of Vianne, who opens her chocolate shop here. Somehow, she learns of the hidden desires of the townspeople and offers each of them precisely the chocolate treat that makes them feel alive again. «Chocolate» — this is a story about kindness and tolerance, about resisting innocent temptations and entrenched righteousness.

"Blackberry Wine": Wine can perform miracles. Jay McIntosh, a writer who does not write, finds six bottles of homemade wine, miraculously preserved from his childhood, which he remembers with acute nostalgia, enjoyment, and bitterness. An eccentric old gardener, who once greatly influenced Jay's fate and then disappeared without a trace, created a wine that can turn a whole life around... The magical novel by Joanne Harris «Blackberry Wine» is about feelings and sensuality, about wines and wine, about truth, friendship, and magic, about amateur alchemy.
