Storyline:

Hugo is a 12 year old boy living within the walls of a train station in 1931 in Paris. He learned to fix the station clocks from his father and his uncle. After his father died, a mechanical man, who is supposed to write with a pen, is the only thing that connects him with his father. Convinced the mechanical man contains a message from his father, Hugo tries to fix it. He steals parts to repair the mechanical man, but is caught by a store owner Georges Melies (a real existing French pioneer film maker). He becomes friends with Georges Melies and his daughter and discovers they have a connection with his father. 

Hugo received five Oscars at the Academy Awards a month ago, out of its 11 nominations. The film got almost universal critical acclaim and has appeared on many critics' top ten lists for best films of 2011.
