Violette
In Violette, Amélie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet adapts Valérie Perrin’s bestseller Changer l’eau des fleurs, which has sold over three million copies worldwide. It is a warm and moving story about love, loss, and the power of small conversations, set in a cemetery in the heart of Burgundy.
Violette Toussaint observes and listens to the world in her own unique, loving way. Her quiet life in a small town in Burgundy revolves around the conversations she has at the cemetery where she serves as caretaker. Her quirky coworkers and the many visitors share their stories of love, loss, and life with her. However, Violette’s familiar routine is disrupted when the local police chief approaches her with an unusual request. As they grow closer, Violette realizes that she must uncover the truth behind long-buried secrets from her past if she wants to give life—and, unexpectedly, love—another chance.
