Storyline
A fable of emotional liberation and chocolate. A mother and daughter move to a small French town where they open a chocolate shop. The town, religious and morally strict, is against them as they represent free-thinking and indulgence. When a group of Boat Gypsies float down the river the prejudices of the Mayor leads to a crisis. |
A delightfully sweet (pun intended, sorry to say) movie with a marvelous cast, particularly Alfred Molina as a perfectly loathsome and complex villain.
