About

Born in Kobe to a Belgian family, Amélie begins to engage with the world after an earthquake.

In Kobe, Japan, Amélie is born to a Belgian family. She is in a vegetative state, and her father Patrick (voiced by Marc Arnaud) and mother Daniele (Laëtitia Coryn) care for her. When an earthquake shakes the household, Amélie begins to move freely. She grows frustrated with her family, so Patrick asks for a nanny. At the suggestion of landlady Kashima-San (Yumi Fujimori), Nishio-san (Victoria Grobois) comes to look after Amélie. Grandmother Claude (Cathy Cerda) also stays for a while and gives Amélie white chocolate, which calms her. Amélie starts to bond with her family, except for her older brother André (Isaac Schoumsky).

Based on The Character of Rain
