She decides to return it to him anonymously and thus begins a series of covert acts of kindness that bring joy to those around her. But will she take a chance on her own happiness? Disguising her identity, she reaches out to Nino, a young man who seems to be a kindred spirit, and discovers the power of human connection. With its generous heart, whimsical charm and indomitable spirit, Amélie celebrates the world of possibilities that dreamers can create.
