Synopsis

After several successful years in Hollywood, Lasse Hallstr (The Cider House Rules, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape) returns to Europe with this slice of small-town life in 1950s France. Juliette Binoche plays a new-in-town single mother who gradually wins over the locals... See more with the sweets in her chocolate shop. But these aren’t your typical French townspeople. With Johnny Depp, Judi Dench, and Carrie-Anne Moss among the customers, this village has a distinctively global appeal.
