Hugo Cabret is a little boy living in a garret in a Parisian railway station in the 1930s. His father died in a fire and he had gone to live with his uncle, who maintains the many clocks in the station. When his uncle disappears, Hugo is left to take care of the clocks alone. Hugo steals toys from the old man's booth on the station concourse. He needs their clockwork parts to help him mend the automaton that his father had been working on before he died. This magical clockwork man is Hugo's raison d'etre. The toy seller, his foster-daughter and Hugo turn out to be connected in ways none of them could ever have guessed.
