Chocolate

The sleepy tranquility of a small French town is disrupted by the arrival of a young woman, Vianne, and her daughter.

They appeared together with a noisy and vibrant carnival procession, and when the carnival was over, its bright joy remained in Vianne's eyes, who opened her chocolate shop here.

In some miraculous way, she learns of the hidden desires of the townspeople and offers each one exactly the chocolate treat that makes them feel the taste of life again.

"Chocolate" is a story about kindness and tolerance, about the confrontation of innocent temptations and stubborn righteousness.

The namesake Hollywood film directed by Lasse Hallström (starring Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp, and Judi Dench) was nominated for an "Oscar" in five categories and for a "Golden Globe" in four.
