A sensitive, funny and delicate animated film that immerses you in the world of Amélie Nothomb and revisits the writer's childhood.

On the day Japan celebrates Kodomo no Hi, its Children's Day, the Media Library and the Le Pagnol cinema unfurl pages and images, welcoming young and old alike for a sparkling moment in the colors of childhood.

On the screen, colors become language. An invitation to plunge into the flamboyant world of Amélie Nothomb and discover, between words and images, how the imagination of childhood becomes the most vibrant of palettes.

THE FILM: AMÉLIE AND THE METAPHYSICS OF TUBES (2025)
Adapted from Amélie Nothomb's cult novel by Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han, this sensitive, funny, and delicate animated film invites you on a sensory and poetic journey from a child's perspective. Immersive and luminous, it revisits the writer's childhood. Amélie was born in Japan, into a Belgian expatriate family. Thanks to Nishio-san, her kind nanny, everyday life becomes a playground of adventures and discoveries. But everything changes on her third birthday. At that age, anything can happen to Amélie: happiness as well as tragedy…
THE DISCUSSION: COLORS AS THE ORIGIN OF AMÉLIE'S WORLD
The discussion will be led by the librarians wearing hats.
Suggested dress code: black clothing and a black hat!
