Oscar-nominated for Best Animated Feature, Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han’s astoundingly beautiful animation is driven by the joy and confusion of a little girl’s discovery of the world and her place within it.
Japan, late 1960s: toddler Amélie finds the world a peaceful, perplexing mystery until a rapturous encounter with chocolate (relatable) ignites her wild sense of curiosity about, well, everything. Exploring the wonders of nature, Amélie also grows a bond with her family’s housekeeper Nishio-san, and begins to understand the painful history beneath the surface of her life in post-war Japan.
Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb, bringing a toddler’s experience brilliantly to life, Maïlys Vallate and Liane-Cho Han’s Little Amélie is a poignant and wondrous story about the healing power of connection.
