chocolat- mother/daughter relationships

 This film is aboutVianne Rocher like her ancestors, drifts across France. In the winter of 1959, she travels to a tranquil French village, where she and her daughter, Anouk  open a small chocolaterie. The store imbues both wonder and angst within the classical villagers as it opens during the forty days of Lent.

links to my play

This film links to my play as it describes a single mother who brings up her daughter without the involvement of the father. This is similar to my play and the character of Jade. The mother is also successful in life in Chocolat even though she is a single mother and this helped me with the end of my play, in that Jade will be successful despite difficulties.
