Description:

In an isolated Danish village during the late 19th century, a group of strict and devout inhabitants maintain their simple lifestyle with unwavering faith and routine. Amidst this pious setting, a French housekeeper enters the community to work for a local family. With a subtle air of enigma surrounding her past, she brings a transformative element into their lives: culinary artistry. Through each exquisitely crafted meal, the housekeeper gently introduces the villagers to new flavors and ideas, sparking a quiet revolution in their culinary habits and thought processes. This delicate tale explores themes of change, tradition, and personal growth against the backdrop of a tight-knit rural community navigating the complexities of modernity in the 19th century.
