Amélie (Audrey Tatou), the heroine of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s (The City of Lost Children) whimsical romance, is no ordinary young woman. A waitress in Montmartre, Amélie lets her imagination roam free. One day, she suddenly finds her purpose: to solve other people’s problems. We follow her around a vividly photographed Paris, as she engineers solutions to her co-workers, relatives and neighbors’ problems. Her mission to help others is rudely interrupted when she meets a strange young man, who captures her interest and sets her on a mission to do something for herself.
