A story about a girl named Amélie whose childhood was suppressed by her father’s mistaken concerns of a heart defect. With these concerns Amélie gets hardly any real-life contact with other people.After finding a lost treasure belonging to the former occupant of her apartment, she decides to return it to him. After seeing his reaction and his newfound perspective, she decides to devote her life to the people around her.

“ Amelie is a delicious pastry of a movie, a lighthearted fantasy in which a winsome heroine overcomes a sad childhood and grows up to bring cheer to the needful and joy to herself. You see it, and later when you think about it, you smile.” – Roger Ebert
