Amélie - Plot;

Childhood.

• Amélie is born.
• She gets monthly health check-ups by her dad.
• Due to lack of contact with her father, her heart beats rapidly each time he touches her for her check-up - he diagnoses her with a heart defect.
• She's home-schooled by her mother (due to her supposed heart defect). 
• She has little / no contact with other people.
• She resorts to her imagination.
  
  At 23 onwards:
• She works in 'les deux moulins' café as a waitress in Paris.
• She finds a 'hidden treasure box' in her flat which belongs to a guy who lived in her flat in the 1950's.
• She hunts down the owner: Dominique Bretodeau - anonymously returns the box.
• After seeing the joy from her good deed,she devotes her life to making others happy.
• In a quest to find out more about Bretodeau, Amélie talks to her neighbour who tells her the story of her late husband - who left her for another woman but later died in South America. 
• Amélie reads letters from her neighbours husband and 'invents' a new one which she claims was lost in the post 30 years ago, which brings closure and happiness to her neighbour.
• She convinces her father to travel abroad with his garden gnome.
• She helps Georgette (the hypochondriac) find love with the café stalker.
  
  Love:
• Amélie fancies the guy who collects photos, he loses his photo album (which she finds) and she tracks him down.
• There's a reoccurring face in the photo album and Amélie wonders who this man is, it turns out to be the photo-booth engineer who takes photos to ensure that the booth is working.  
• Ultimately, Amélie finds love.
