« Life is like a box of chocolate! » Loved by all, chocolate is the ultimate pleasure food. From the discovery of America onwards, the use of the cacao tree has never stopped evolving across time and space.

The Mayas and Aztecs used its beans as a currency, and its juice was sacred. In Europe, cacao was firstly seen as a medicinal plant or an aphrodisiac, before becoming an edible ingredient or food on its own. But how and when did chocolate become a much beloved mass consumer product?

Through a host of delicious archives, extracts from cult films like Forrest Gump or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, meetings with today's greatest chocolatiers like Patrick Roger or Stéphane Bonnat, this documentary tells us the epic story of this unique food that has constantly transformed over time and continues to delight us.
