Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain - Film&Ontbijt

Amélie (Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) is the perfect film for the holidays – a warm, enchanting ode to the good in people, full of humor, romance and fantasy. It offers just the kind of escapist magic that fits this time of year so well.

Amélie Poulain works as a waitress in a café in the Montmartre district of Paris and enjoys observing people while giving free rein to her imagination. Then she discovers her ultimate purpose in life: solving other people's problems. For example, she helps the concierge of her apartment building, who drinks port all day and talks to her stuffed dog. Or Georgette, her hypochondriac colleague. And 'the glass man', her neighbour who paints Renoir reproductions all day.

But Amélie's mission is unexpectedly interrupted when she meets the eccentric boy Nino Quincampoix. Twenty-three years later, Amélie is still as enchanting as ever.
