The title character (Audrey Tautou) is a single waitress who decides to help other lonely people fix their lives. Her widowed father yearns to
travel but won't, so to inspire the old man she sends his garden gnome on a tour of the world; with whispered gossip, she brings together two
cranky regulars at her café; she reverses the doorknobs and reprograms the speed dial of a grocer who's mean to his assistant. Gradually she
realizes her own life needs fixing, and a chance meeting leads to her most elaborate stratagem of all.
