Plot
Set in 1975 Paris, Amélie Poulin works as a waitress in the winding streets of Montmartre. Leading an introverted life, Amélie has an alturistic spirit and is driven by a deep desire to make others happy. Whether that involves helping her eccentric friend Georgette find love or returning an old box of child-hood treasures to the previous tenant in her apartment, Amélie embarks on bizzare and mischievous schemes to help others.
While Amélie is preoccupied with making others happy, she finds herself falling for a man named Nino, another misfit, who works in a sex shop. Will the shy, romantic Amélie concentrate on her own happiness and follow her heart?
