Oscars: Nomination for Best Animated Feature.

Based on the novel Métaphysique des tubes by Amélie Nothomb, this film centres around a toddler born to her Belgian parents in Japan.

After over two years in a vegetative state, little Amélie suddenly awakens to the world around her - triggered by a piece of white chocolate. Seizing life and all it has to offer with glee, Amélie's sudden progression makes her believe she is a god. But, sure enough, she is soon brought down to earth — and brought to understand that she is part of a much bigger picture. Amelie uncovers the world around her in this beautiful, mature and oh so human depiction of the transition from infancy to childhood.

2025 Audience Award Winner at the prestigious Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
