Amélie
Language: French
Subtitles: Swedish
Runtime: 123 min

We follow Amélie, a dreamy and lonely girl who grew up in Paris in the 1970s. Her father, a worried doctor, mistakenly believes she has a heart condition as a child, so instead of going to school, Amélie is homeschooled, leaving her with plenty of time for imagination. As an adult, she begins working at a charming café in Montmartre. One day, she discovers an old tin box hidden behind the tiles in her bathroom. This small discovery marks the beginning of a whole new chapter: Amélie decides to secretly do good for the people around her.

The film is a modern fairy tale about finding magic in the everyday, about small gestures that can change everything – and about the courage to open one’s own heart.
