During the late 19th century, a strict religious community in a Danish village takes in Babette (Audran), a French refugee, as a family cook to the late pastor's daughters. Babette's lavish celebratory banquet tempts the family's dwindling congregation.
Two devout and elderly sisters allow their cook, a French refugee, to prepare a feast in honor of their late father's 100th birthday, despite their spiritual concerns over the sensuality and decadence of French cuisine.
Directed by Gabriel Axel and adapted from a story by Isak Dinesen, it is the lovingly layered tale of a French housekeeper with a mysterious past who brings quiet revolution in the form of one exquisite meal to a circle of starkly pious villagers in late nineteenth-century Denmark.
