She steals his beloved garden gnome and gives it to her stewardess friend, who takes pictures of it in famous foreign locations at her flight stops. Amelie decides to encourage her aging and morose father to travel for the first time. After anonymously trailing him to a bar, Amelie learns that her act had inspired him to visit his estranged daughter and finally meet his grandson. She slyly returns the box to him, and the aging Bretodeau (Maurice Benichou) is brought to tears by his childhood memories. Her neighbor Dufayel provides her with the correct spelling- Bretodeau- and Amelie is able to track him down. Amelie looks up several Bredoteaus in the city, but to no avail. After consulting Colingion's parents, who had lived in her apartment building around the time the box was hidden (roughly 1950), Amelie receives a possible name for the owner: Domonique Bredoteau. Amelie decides to find the box's owner to return it, and if he is touched by the gesture, she will dedicate her life to such acts of kindness. It contains pictures, toys, and mementos from decades before. On August 31, 1997, as she watches a news report of Princess Diana's death, chance leads Amelie to discover a small box behind a wall in her bathroom. Residents of her apartment building include Raymond Dufayel (Serge Merlin), an elderly reclusive artist with very brittle bones Madelene Wells (Yolande Moreau), the sulking concierge who mourns the death of her cheating husband Collignon (Urbain Cancelier), the grouchy grocer and Lucien (Jamel Debbouze), Colignion's clumsy employee. She takes interest in the lives of others, but does not get involved. Amelie amuses herself with life's simple, everyday pleasures, since her romantic relationships were often disappointing. In her late teens, she moves to her own apartment and takes a job as a café waitress in Montmartre. Her father becomes deeply depressed, and Amelie receives even less parental affection. She becomes fairly comfortable in her solitude, but her life is shaken when her mother is inadvertently fatally crushed by a suicidal tourist leaping from the roof of Notre Dame.

Given no mental stimulation from her parents and isolated from other children, Amelie develops an intricate imagination to entertain herself. Amandine (Lorella Cravotta) is constantly stressed and anxious, and breaks down over strange and minor events such as Amelie's goldfish leaping from its bowl. He declares Amelie to be too delicate for school, and she is taught at home by her mother. When Amelie is six, he concludes that she has a serious heart defect (when in reality, Amelie's heart beats faster due to nervousness from her father's rare contact). Raphael (Rufus) is a stoic and distant father, and never makes physical contact with his daughter except for a monthly medical checkup. spragg_sĪmelie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) is the only child of Raphael and Amandine a doctor and a schoolteacher, respectively. Amélie then discovers she must become more aggressive and take a hold of her life and capture the beauty of love she has always dreamed of. But after consuming herself with these escapades - she finds out that she is disregarding her own life and damaging her quest for love. Such as, her father who is obsessed with his garden-gnome, a failed writer, a hypochondriac, a man who stalks his ex girlfriends, the 'ghost,' a suppressed young soul, the love of her life and a man whose bones are as brittle as glass. After seeing his reaction and his new found perspective - she decides to devote her life to the people around her. After finding a lost treasure belonging to the former occupant of her apartment, she decides to return it to him. She later on becomes a young woman and moves to the central part of Paris as a waitress. This leads Amélie to resort to her own fantastical world and dreams of love and beauty. With these concerns Amélie gets hardly any real-life contact with other people.

Amélie is a story about a girl named Amélie whose childhood was suppressed by her Father's mistaken concerns of a heart defect.
