synopsis:
19th century In a remote village in Denmark, dominated by Puritanism, two elderly sisters, who have remained single, remember with nostalgia their distant youth and the rigid education that forced them to renounce happiness. The arrival of Babette, who comes from Paris, fleeing the civil war, will change their lives. The stranger will soon have the opportunity to respond to the kindness and warmth with which she was welcomed. A lottery prize allows you to organize an opulent dinner with the best dishes and wines of French cuisine. All the neighbors accept the invitation, but they agree in advance not to give samples of a satisfaction that would be sinful. But little by little, in an intense and emotional ceremony, they give in to the pleasures of French cuisine.
