When a single mother (Juliette Binoche) and her six-year-old daughter move to rural France and open a chocolate shop – with Sunday hours – across the street from the local church, they are met with some skepticism. But as soon as they coax the townspeople into enjoying their delicious products, they are warmly welcomed. From Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom (MY LIFE AS A DOG, CIDER HOUSE RULES), CHOCOLAT stars acclaimed actors Judi Dench and Johnny Depp in addition to Binoche.
