ChocolatPlot It's the 1960s in a small, sleepy village in rural France. The wandering Vianne and her young daughter arrive, and set up a chocolaterie opposite the church. Vianne makes a vast variety of fabulously rich velvety chocolates which would surely tempt even a saint. But it's Lent. The indignant village mayor cannot believe that anybody of sound morals would open a chocolaterie during Lent, especially opposite a church, and determines to see the chocalerie close. He bullies the townfolk into avoiding her shop. So Vianne is desparately short of customers - only those with nothing to lose visit. But the warm, passionate, friendly nature of Vianne begins to erode the authority of the mayor. |

Why in 100 Best? Every scene is exquisitely detailed - especially memorable are the parts when Vianne meticulously (with seemingly a touch of magic) makes ups another batch of sumptuous chocolates. |
