Babette (Stephane Audran), a chef and refugee from France's civil war, finds herself in a remote Danish hamlet working for two sisters who preside over the hamlet's inhabitants. The sisters were brought up under the strict regime of their devout father who preached salvation through self-denial and have kept his teachings going even after his death. But Babette's arrival is set to change the status quo when she cooks a sumptuous meal for the sisters and their friends.
