Next to the walls of the train station in Paris, lived a small orphan boy. That boy named Hugo, inherited from his father and uncle the skill of repairing clocks and other simple tools. Hugo's father left him a strange legacy, a robot that does not operate without a special key. Of course Hugo needs the key to unlock that robot, which is thought to contain many things and secrets that have not yet been revealed. During the search adventure, Hugo meets George Meles, a shopkeeper who works at the train station and his daughter. On Hugo's research trip, may restore the memories of long-buried ancestors.
