André, een beroemd concertpianist, trouwt met Mika, directrice van een chocoladefabriek. Hij heeft een zoon uit zijn eerste huwelijk, Guillaume. Gedrieën wonen ze in een prachtig huis op het platteland nabij Lausanne. Alles lijkt prachtig in orde, volkomen normaal. Tot de komst van Jeanne, een mooie achttienjarige die vermoedt dat zij vlak na haar geboorte in het ziekenhuis verwisseld is met een andere baby, te weten Guillaume. Jeanne, die toevallig over een talent voor het pianospel beschikt, zoekt André op, die haar vervolgens behandelt als zijn protégé. Hij neemt haar op in de familie en zorgt dat ze les krijgt van de beste docenten. Guillaume voelt zich genegeerd en Mika doet beleefd haar best de situatie te accepteren.
Nee, helaas is Merci pour le chocolat nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
