Wonder and a world filled with colour, everyday magic, and Belgian white chocolate meet three-year-old Amélie as she leaps into childhood in post-war Japan, in a film for the whole family.
With wide-eyed curiosity, boundless imagination, and a healthy dose of defiance, Amélie leaves infancy behind and discovers language, movement, her parents, and a mysterious garden. The third child in a Belgian family living in Japan, she soon forms a deep emotional bond with her nanny, Nishio-San. But in a society still marked by the aftermath of war, their relationship stirs ambivalent feelings. Through exquisite animation, the film celebrates meaningful encounters across cultural boundaries in a tender story about childhood, loss, love, and learning to accept life on its own terms.
Suitable from 7 years.
