Amélie and the Secrets of the Rain is a film produced by Mexican producer Nidia Santiago and is based on the novel Metaphysics of Tubes by Belgian writer Amélie Nothomb.
The story follows Amélie, a little Belgian girl born in Japan who, thanks to her friend Nishio-san, discovers a universe full of small details, games, and everyday adventures. However, on her third birthday, an event occurs that changes the course of her life.
The film portrays that crucial moment when, for a child, everything seems to be at stake: happiness, sadness, and the discovery of the world. It is an endearing story that celebrates childhood and the capacity for wonder that we often forget as we grow up.
In addition to its international recognition, this free premiere in Chapultepec makes it one of the must-see cultural events of the weekend in Mexico City.
