Babettes gæstebud

I en lille norsk fjordby tager to aldrende søstre den franske chefkok Babette i huset, efter hun er flygtet fra det revolutionære Paris i 1871. I fjorten år koger hun trofast klipfisk og øllebrød, men en dag sker miraklet. En gammel lotteriseddel, der gennem alle årene har været hendes eneste forbindelse til Frankrig, kommer ud med den store gevinst. Babette bruger alle pengene på ét storstilet gæstebud, hvor hun kan udfolde sin sublime kulinariske kunst.
