Amelie har haft en barndom uden megen plads til sanselighed og nærhed. Nu, da hun er blevet voksen, har hun travlt med at gribe ind i sine medmenneskers tilværelse med en hjælpende hånd, uden de ved det. På den måde hjælper hun både kærligheden og medmenneskeligheden på vej, når det gælder de andre - men når det kommer til hendes eget liv, er alting meget sværere.
Amélie has an unusual background, a vivid imagination and a dreamy mind. Although she seems to live in her own world, she regularly does good deeds to make other people happy. But can her carefree outlook on life bring her happiness and love? “The Fabulous Amélie of Montmartre” took the world by storm as the film’s unique aesthetics and warm storytelling once again opened audiences’ eyes to French cinema.
