Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (PG)

13th February 2026 - 25th February 2026

In late 1960s Japan, toddler Amélie finds the world a peaceful, perplexing mystery until a rapturous encounter with chocolate (relatable) ignites her wild sense of curiosity about everything. Exploring the wonders of nature, Amélie also develops a deep bond with her family’s housekeeper, Nishio-san, and begins to understand the painful history beneath the surface of their idyllic existence as foreigners in post-war Japan. Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb, bringing a toddler’s experience of the world brilliantly to life, Maïlys Vallate and Liane-Cho Han’s Little Amélie is a poignant and wondrous story about the healing power of connection.
