- Synopsis:
The international breakthrough of acclaimed filmmaker Claire Denis, 'Chocolat' is set in a remote town in Cameroon during the last days of France's African colonies. There lives a sole white family - Marc Dalens (François Cluzet), the often-travelling regional administrator; his wife Aimee (Giulia Boschi), who does her best to stave off frustration and boredom with household activities; and their young daughter France (Cécile Ducasse), who cultivates a special friendship with the native servant boy Protee (Isaach De Bankolé). But the family's ordered world is threatened with chaos when a plane full of strangers makes an emergency landing nearby, its arrival unleashing a torrent of simmering resentments, racism and repressed passions. - Actors:
