Story Synopsis

“Babette’s Feast,” the critically acclaimed Academy Award® winner for Best Foreign Language Film in 1987, is a wry tale about a Parisian refugee with a special secret, working for two Puritan sisters on the desolate coast of Denmark. For fourteen years, Babette Hersant (Audran) prepares the traditional boiled codfish and ale-bread soup for the sisters’ and their small congregation. Until one day she wins 10,000 francs and spends every cent creating the most extraordinary five-course French dinner for the villagers—to show off her talents a superb French chef, even though they will have no idea what they are eating. The original story of life, pleasure and artistic passion was spun by Isak Dinesen (Out Of Africa).
