It’s hard for something when you don’t know what it is…
Amélie lives in Paris and in a world of her own. She works in a café, rents an apartment. Life seems to be dull but OK. Except that she’s lonely.
The everything changes.
When Amélie discovers an old box of childhood treasures in her apartment and returns it secretly to its middle-aged owner, it transforms his life- and hers.
She frees a girlfriend from a troublesome lover and steers him into passion with another. She steals her father’s garden gnome and sends him on a round-the-world trip. She writes love-lettere to her concierge from the woman’s dead husband.
It’s wonderful, but her neighbor, the glass man, is watching her through his binoculars, and he know it’s not enough.
Nino collects cement footprints, discarded passport photos. He works as a moaning ghoul on a ghost train.
Nino’s just within sight of Amélie, but he doesn’t know it.
Amélie and Nino are perfect for each other. However, will they ever find each other?
