Amélie et la Métaphysique des Tubes
The third birthday of Amélie, a Belgian child in Japan, becomes a turning point, marking the beginning of life-altering events that shape her understanding of the world.
The world is a perplexing, peaceful mystery to Amélie (Loïse Charpentier) until a miraculous encounter with chocolate ignites her wild sense of curiosity. As she develops a deep attachment to her family's housekeeper, Nishio-san (Victoria Grosbois), Amélie discovers the wonders of nature as well as the emotional truths hidden beneath the surface of her family's idyllic life as foreigners in post-war Japan. Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb and brought to life in the completely original animated style of directors Mailys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han, ‘Little Amélie or the Character of Rain’ to give it its full title, tells a tender, poignant and visually stunning story about the healing power of human connection.
