Amelie recounts the story of a lonely girl who makes use of her imagination as a way to cope with negligence and her social deprivation.

Amelie also consolidated her neighbor, “The Glass Man” by keeping him company and putting together clips of random movies that he could watch for entertainment. And to her other neighbor, the grocery owner, she would make mischievous acts in his apartment as revenge for how he treated one of his employees. As mentioned earlier, her mischievousness did not go away. Lastly, she returns Nino’s photo album. After several encounters, she returns the album back to him- a prized possession of his. These small acts of kindness built more and more satisfaction to
