single mother with a young daughter. In village was the beginning of fasting and
people weren’t eating so much. Vianne moves with her daughter into a disused
bakery facing the church, where a man - Francis Reynaud - watches her arrival
with disapproval and is suspicious. When he realizes that Vianne wants to open a
chocolate shop in place of the old bakery, influencing the church-goers,
Reynaud’s disapproval increases more.
