23-year-old Amélie is lonely. After an isolating childhood, she moves to Paris and becomes a waitress at the Café des Deux Moulins. One night, she happens across a box of treasures hidden in her apartment, left by a little boy in the fifties, that changes the course of her life. While completing her good deeds, Amélie crosses paths with Nino, a photobooth collagist who shares her oddball sensibilities. She quickly falls in love with him as we all fall in love with her. Don’t miss the chance to see this on the big screen.
