In an austere religious community in 1870s Denmark, a French refugee arrives at the household of two spinster sisters and their father, and becomes their housekeeper and cook. After the death of their father, she prepares a meal in his memory – not just a meal but a gastronomic feast which is revelatory and life changing for the sisters and the community. A tale of self-sacrifice, thwarted ambitions, and lost love, but gently comic and sensuous.
