Synopsis: An adaptation of the famous memoirs of the Francophone writer Amélie Nothomb, the animated film follows Amélie, a Belgian girl born in Japan who, until the age of three, cannot interact with the world around her. This period ends abruptly following an event that awakens her to reality, and she begins to discover language, her family, the nature that surrounds her, and its rhythms. The film focuses on the first years of her childhood and the special relationship she develops with Nishio-san, a caregiver who helps her discover the wonders of the world and open up emotionally. The film explores a profound theme: the transition from believing you are the center of the universe to realizing you are just a part of it.
