Amélie is an extraordinary young woman who lives quietly in the world but loudly in her mind. She covertly improvises small but surprising acts of kindness that bring joy and mayhem.

Be inspired by this imaginative dreamer who finds her voice, discovers the power of connection, and sees possibility around every corner.
