There is a small town in the south of France called Lance Quinnit. The inhabitants of the town have always followed the inherent traditions of religion and lived abstinent days.
One snowy winter day, a mother and daughter came to town. They went to Pavia in northern Italy, then to Vienna and to Andalusí in southern Spain. Eventually they moved to town, rented Mrs. Amandai's cake shop and opened a chocolate shop.
The Count of Renault in the town was diligent and modest, and strictly self-disciplined. He has always insisted on using the wisdom and methods of his ancestors to manage the small town of Lance Quinnit.
After the mother and daughter moved in, the Count of Renault visited them and invited the female manager, Vivian, to their Sunday Mass.
But Vianne was an atheist, and she politely declined the Earl of Reynolds' invitation and welcomed him to the opening of the little shop.
Vian is brightly dressed and stylish. She didn't believe in God and opened a chocolate shop during Lent, which immediately caused a stir in the town.
After a few days of tidying up, Vian's chocolate shop opened.
Every customer who comes to the small shop is asked to turn the color palette on the table. Based on the images they see, Vianne will prepare chocolates for everyone.
The first guest to visit the chocolate shop was a middle-aged woman. When she bought her favorite pepper triangle chocolate, Vivian gave her a bag of Dangerous Horse Magic Cocoa.
This package of magic cocoa succeeded in allowing a middle-aged couple to find passion from a numb married life.
Josephine had been ridiculed by the townspeople as an abnormal woman. She did not love her husband, but she had to serve him three meals a day, make A with him, bear children for him, tidy up the garden in a disciplined manner, and pray in church every week.
Her husband, Serge, did not pamper her, but scolded and accused her every day.
Worried about the criticism of the townspeople, Josephine has been silently enduring her husband's domestic violence and living in torment.
Vian encouraged Josephine to break free from Sergi's shackles and provided her with a place to live and work, teaching her the craft of making chocolate.
Mr. Briero takes his dog, Charlie, through Vian's chocolate shop every day. He had always been fond of Madame Aud, but he was afraid to confess because she was guarding the funeral.
Although Mr. Odd had been dead forty-two years earlier, the town's etiquette and rules still made it impossible for two old men in love to stay together.
The landlady, Amandai, is old but lives alone. She swears, reads yellow books, and eats and drinks as much as she wants.
Daughter Caroline was extremely disapproving of her mother's lifestyle of hedonistic freedom. She is noble and elegant, does not smile, and is decent.
After her husband's death, her son Luke was also closely guarded by her like a puppet. Caroline worries for Luke all day, restricting all his outdoor activities.
Armandy not only rejected her daughter's offer to let her live in a nursing home, but also strenuously opposed her model of educating Luke. Shouldn't a boy grow up happily and live the life he loves?
Caroline thus cut off the relationship between the two grandchildren. The relationship between mother and daughter is thus rigid.
To help Amandai meet Luke. While Caroline was doing her haircut, Vivian invited Luke to the shop, called Aman dai again, and prepared a chocolate cake that Luke liked. The grandson and grandson finally had time to stay together.
Mr. Briero finally plucked up the courage to buy a shell chocolate for Mrs. Odd and place it on her doorstep.
Mrs. Odd was so in love with the taste that she could not resist taking a chocolate from Mr. Briero in her mouth even during prayers at church.
More and more people could not resist the temptation of chocolate, and they came to the priest to confess, hoping to get God's forgiveness.
Count Renault increasingly felt that Vian's chocolate shop was making the townspeople feel overwhelmed and uncontrollable.
As soon as Vivian arrived in the town, he hated her free and unregulated soul. He spread rumors to the townspeople that Vian had a child out of wedlock, warning them to reduce their dealings with Vian.
He threatened the future of the young priest Henry and sent Henry to the chocolate shop to inquire about the news for him.
After Josephine left Sergi, he spent every effort to transform Sergi into a gentleman, hoping to win the ideological struggle with Vivian.
Luke's private meeting with his grandmother Amandai is finally discovered by Caroline.
She was angry at her mother's behavior and accused Vian of not giving chocolate to her diabetic mother. After an argument, Caroline took Luke away and stepped up her watchful eye on him.
Boats often pass by on the Tan River outside the town. These boats brought with them the wanderers that the townspeople hated. They indulge in pleasure, do not believe in God, and are called water rats by the townspeople, social scum.
In order to drive them away, Count Renault led a discussion among the townspeople. But the rivers were communal lands, and parliament could not drive them out.
In order to confront count Renault, Vianne and captain Loux make a deal and become their friends.
As soon as Count Renault issued a boycott of outsiders, Vian brought in vendors and street performers to prepare for a celebration on Sunday's Easter.
Count Reynolds asked the priest to revise the prayer, publicly stating that whoever walked into the chocolate shop again was disobeying God.
The townspeople closed themselves off again, and Vian's chocolate shop no longer had a single customer.
Even Vaine's daughter, Ann Luke, is questioning her mother why she doesn't go to church to pray like a townsman, why doesn't she wear black shoes like the mothers of other children?
A depressed Vivian finds the landlady Amanda to confide in.
Amandai asked Vian to throw a chocolate party for her on Wednesday on her seventieth birthday, where they would indulge in pleasure and dance revelry.
Vianne and Josephine carefully prepared ingredients for the party. She invited customers who had been patronizing the town, as well as Captain Loux.
Luke also pretended to be ill to avoid the care of his mother Caroline, and went to the birthday party of his grandmother, Amandai, and presented a portrait of himself for her.
Everyone forgot the town rules of the Count of Renault, enjoyed the food to the fullest, and went to the Locks boat to sing and dance.
Caroline chased to the riverbank, saw Luke's smile, and quietly left.
Sergi reported everything to count Renault, and they decided to take revenge.
While Vian and Loux were making out on the ship, a fire struck the fleet.
Luke returned home with his grandmother before the party was over. While he was cleaning up the dishes, Grandma passed away quietly on the recliner.
Caroline finally took out her husband's bicycle, repaired it, and planned to give it to her son to let him live happily, but waited for the news of her mother's death.
Captain Locks's fleet was destroyed by fire. He had no choice but to leave the town.
The lover left, and the landlord died of illness. Ostracized by everyone, Vivian decided to embark on a journey with her daughter again.
Count Renault's wife left him for cheating, and for reasons of family face, he kept telling the townspeople that his wife was traveling.
For many years, Count Renault had always been fond of Caroline, but because of his inner code of life, he tried his best to restrain his love for Caroline.
After her mother's death, Caroline broke through the shackles and went into Vian's chocolate shop to keep Vian with everyone.
Caroline's change caused count Renault to begin to question his faith. He fasted for a few weeks and kept his duty all his life. And now all this has become an emptiness.
In the evening he took a sharp knife and crawled into Vian's chocolate shop and cut off all the chocolate products.
Chocolate scraps inadvertently spilled into his mouth. This unique taste drove him crazy and made him obsessed. He grabbed the chocolate on the counter and shoved it into his mouth, and finally slept in the chocolate pile for the night.
In the morning Vivian woke up count Renault, gave him a glass of milk, and promised to keep it a secret for him.
The pastor changed the prayer again. Everyone's heart is filled with joy and warmth.
Half a year later, Count Renault finally plucked up the courage to confess to Caroline.
Sergi was driven out of town by Renault for setting the fire. Josephine took over her husband's tavern and converted it into Amandai's Coffee Shop.
Vivian decided to settle down with her daughter.
Loux eventually returned to the small town of Vian.
