Babette's Feast (1987) unfolds in the 19th century in a secluded Danish village, where two grown sisters reside with their father, a revered pastor of a small, insular Protestant congregation. Both sisters have genuine chances to depart from the village but opt to remain, dedicating their lives to their father and their church. A French refugee, Babette, seeks asylum at their home and pledges to serve as their maid, housekeeper, and cook. Following their father's passing, the sisters organize a dinner to celebrate the centenary of his birth. Babette, having experienced a stroke of good luck, requests to oversee the meal's preparation. Despite their hidden apprehensions about Babette's Catholic and foreign background, the sisters consent. Babette then creates an extraordinary feast for the tiny church community and a notable guest connected to one of the sisters.
