Little Amélie
What if every problem could be solved with a piece of white chocolate? This is a world where anything is possible, and a story about living life to the fullest.
Amelia, a little Belgian girl born in Japan, didn't say a word or take a step until she was two and a half years old.
It was only when her grandmother visited from her distant homeland and an unexpected event occurred that the girl developed a tremendous desire to explore the world here and now – without rules or boundaries. You can't stop this force! Here is a tiny creature in YOLO mode, turbocharged, who has to make up for lost time in learning about life.

You can't stop this force! Here is a tiny creature in YOLO mode, turbocharged, who has to make up for lost time in learning about life.
Every day, little Amelia, who suddenly starts talking and walking, has more and more thoughts and questions swirling around in her head. Who am I? Where did I come from? Why is it this way and not another?
The girl dispels these doubts with the help of her nanny, who introduces her to Japanese legends and customs of distant Asia, preparing for the O-bon festival – when the spirits of ancestors come to life and lanterns float on the water. She learns about the beauty of the nature around her, which changes with the seasons. She tries to understand why her neighbor looks at everyone so menacingly...
In this poetic animation, Japanese culture intertwines with Belgian culture, and laughter with emotion. It is a visual feast in which you will rediscover the meaning of life.

The whole thing is accompanied by phenomenal dubbing directed by the legend of Polish dubbing, Jacek Bończyk. The Polish language version features, among others, Małgorzata Foremniak (Claude's grandmother), Joanna Brodzik (Kashima-San's neighbor), Zuzanna Biernat (Amelia's inner voice), and Ewa Prus (Nishio-San's nanny).
Little Amelia is often compared to Flow, last year's animated hit, and for good reason: once again, we are treated to breathtaking, extraordinary animation and a universal story that connects generations. Like Flow, Little Amelia won the Audience Award at the most important animated film festival in Annecy, as well as two main awards in the Film Discovery Competition at the Young Horizons Festival, and premiered at the world's largest film festivals – Cannes and Toronto.
