Synopsis: Bursting with imagination and having seen her share of tragedy and fantasy, Amelie is not like the other girls. When she grows up she becomes a waitress in a Montmartre bar run by a former dancer. Amelie enjoys simple pleasures until she discovers that her goal in life is to help others. To that end, she invents all sorts of tricks that allow her to intervene incognito into other people's lives, including an imbibing concierge and her hypocondriac neighbor. But Amelie's most difficult case turns out to be Nino Quincampoix, a lonely sex shop employee who collects photos abandoned at coin-operated photobooths.
