ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Iconic Director Martin Scorsese brings this fantastical, Academy Award winning story to life. Set in 1931 Paris, an orphan living in the walls of a train station gets wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton. Starring Asa Butterfield (ENDER’S GAME, SEX EDUCATION), alongside the adventure-seeking god-daughter of one of the shopkeepers in the station, played by Chloe Grace Moretz (KICK-ASS, IF I STAY), as they search to find a secret key. USA Today raves that HUGO is, "A wondrous blend of fantasy and mystery that will appeal to adults as well as children."

SYNOPSIS

Orphaned and alone except for an uncle, Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) lives in the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris. Hugo’s job is to oil and maintain the station’s clocks, but to him, his more important task is to protect a broken automaton and notebook left to him by his late father (Jude Law). Accompanied by the goddaughter (Chloë Grace Moretz) of an embittered toy merchant (Ben Kingsley), Hugo embarks on a quest to solve the mystery of the automaton and find a place he can call home.
