Split cod and ale. That is all they have eaten for years on end. But today the sisters’ table is sumptuously spread with exquisite fare that awakens all senses. With lavish love the servant Babette has spent even her last cent on this banquet. And no one who partakes of it is left unchanged: an estranged couple kisses in forgiveness, two sisters discover the bounty of creation, and a stray general is struck. ‘Grace makes no conditions, it takes all to its bosom and proclaims amnesty. That which we have rejected is poured out on us’. Babette’s Feast, Gabriel Axel’s 1987 film, marvellously ushers us into the theme of gospel in mission and culture.
