Yann Tiersen: "Sur le fil" for Piano Solo
The film tells the story of Amélie, a girl who grows up isolated from other children. This happens because her father thinks that Amélie has an anomaly in her heart, as it beats very fast during the monthly exams that the father does on the girl. In fact, Amélie is nervous about this rare physical contact with her father. Because of that, and because of that alone, her heart beats faster than normal. Her parents then deprive Amélie of attending school and having contact with other children. Her mother, who is a teacher, taught her how to read and write until she died. Her childhood and her mother's premature death end up strongly influencing Amélie's development and the way she relates to people and the world as an adult.
After coming of age, she moves from the suburbs to the Parisian district of Montmartre, where she starts working as a waitress. One day, she finds in the bathroom of her apartment a box with toys and figurines belonging to the former resident of the apartment. She decides to look for it and deliver it to its owner, Dominique, anonymously. Upon noticing that he cries with joy when he regains his object, the girl is impressed and remodels her vision of the world.
From then on, Amélie engaged in small gestures in order to help and make the people around her happier. There she gains a new meaning for her existence. In one of these small big actions, she meets a man. And then her fate changes forever.
