Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) comes to prewar Paris as a young man after a life on the ocean wave, determined to make his fortune with the chocolate recipes invented by his mum (Sally Hawkins). His new ideas make him enemies, notably Bleacher (Tom Davis) and Mrs Scrubbit (Olivia Colman), but he wins out with the help of new friends. With Hugh Grant as the original Oompa-Loompa.
