Amélie is 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. This leads Amélie to resort to her own fantastical world and dreams of love and beauty. She later on becomes a young woman and moves to the central part of Paris as a waitress. 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 new found perspective - she decides to devote her life to the people around her. Such as, her father who is obsessed with his garden-gnome, a failed writer, a hypochondriac, a man who stalks his ex girlfriends, the "ghost", a suppressed young soul, the love of her life and a man whose bones are as brittle as glass. But after consuming herself with these escapades…

Nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Original Screenplay and Best Cinematography, Audrey Tautou (Coco Before Chanel) stars as the French title character, Amélie, in this “sugar rush of a movie” (Elvis Mitchell, The New York Times) that earned People’s Choice Award honors at the Toronto, Chicago and Edinburgh International Film Festivals. At a tiny Parisian café, the adorable yet painfully shy Amélie (Tautou) accidentally discovers a gift for helping others. Soon she is spending her days as a Cupid, guardian angel and all-around do-gooder. But when Amélie bumps into a handsome stranger, will she find the courage to become the star of her very own story?

Monsieur Perrichon, sorte de Monsieur Jourdain de boulevard, a décidé de prendre des vacances en Suisse avec sa femme et sa fille, la séduisante Henriette. Armand et Daniel, ses deux prétendants, ont compris toutefois que pour obtenir sa main, il valait mieux entreprendre de conquérir le coeur de ce père vaniteux plutôt que celui de la jeune femme. Rivaux complices, ils s'affrontent dans une lutte comique. Et si Armand a la chance, lors d'une excursion, de sauver Perrichon d'une chute mortelle, Daniel fait mieux en parvenant à se faire sauver par le bourgeois qui en tire une fierté démesurée.
