Captain Corelli's Mandolin/Chocolat DVD

Captain Corelli's Mandolin:
When Captain Antonio Corelli and his Italian army company arrive on the unpoiled Greek island of Cephallonia, strong willed young Pelagia and the other villagers meet these uninvited guests with resentment. But as the Italians' charm and passion for life win their acceptance, Pelagia and Corelli begin to develop a bond that transcends the divisions of nationality and circumstance. Then, as the harsh reality of war ultimately crashes upon the idyllic shores of Cephallonia, Captain Cprelli must face the possibility of leaving the island and losing the woman he has come to love.

Chocolat:
Chocolat is the beautiful and captivating comedy based on the best-selling novel by Joanne Harris. Nobody could have imagined the impact that the striking Vianne would make when she arrived in a tranquil, old fashioned French town. In her very unusual chocolate shop, Vianne begins to create mouth-watering confections that almost magically inspire the straitlaced villagers to abandon themselves to temptation and happiness. But it is not until another stranger, the handsome Roux, arrives in town that Vianne is finally able to recognise her own desires.
