Synopsis: Amélie is no ordinary girl. A barmaid in a Montmartre bar, she likes observing people and letting her imagination roam free. One day, she suddenly finds her purpose in life: to fix up other people’s troubles. Among them: the concierge who spends her day sipping port while communing with a stuffed dog; Georgette, the hypochondriac news dealer; and the “glass man”, Amélie’s neighbor who lives vicariously through a Renoir reproduction. Amélie’s mission is rudely interrupted when she meets a strange, off-beat young man, Nino Quincampoix…
