Chocolat (Scene 20-21) Absolute goodness?

Juliet Binoche plays Vianne, a drifter who blows into a small village in France with her daughter, like the north wind. It is Lent, the time of joyless fasting. She brings chocolate and a joy for life to the rather puritanical and downtrodden people. The Mayor takes an instant dislike to her, but what she brings is healing, of friendships, hurt and loneliness. People start to live again. One day the Mayor can resist no longer, and gorges himself all night and is found sleeping by Vianne.in her shop window. How does she react? Is she a Kantian or a utilitarian? Do you think she believes in absolutes? Was the attitude of the Mayor absolutely wrong, or was he just reflecting his culture? How might we judge between two different attitudes to the moral life?
