Charlie Bucket is a boy who lived in a small wooden house on the outskirts of town. He had a big family and lived with six adults: 2 grandpas, 2 grandmas, father and his mother. His family was poor and only his father had a job but he lost it and in the end he shoveled snow for a small paycheck. There was only one bed in the house and his grandparents slept there for 20 years already.

Near this poor house was a miraculous and wonderful chocolate factory. Charlie loved chocolate and always walked slowly when he was near the factory so he could enjoy the smell.
