Amelie
One person can change your life forever.
Amelie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) lives in Paris, and in a world of her own.
Introverted, but with a very extroverted imagination, Amelie is obsessed with
the small pleasures of life; skimming stones over water, plunging her hand into
a sack of grain, and cracking the top of her Crème Brulee’ with a spoon.
Amelie believes she can twist the fate of those around her by affecting the
slightest changes in their environment. She sets about making people fall in
love, punishing her nasty neighbours and giving a new lease of life to the
lonely or unloved. But when it comes to finding her own true love, Amelie
conducts a campaign of stealth to win the heart of Nino (Mathieu Kassovitz) and
is almost afraid of where her destiny will take her…
