As a young woman, she moves to central Paris and works as a waitress. After finding a lost treasure belonging to a former occupant of her apartment, she decides to return it to him. Witnessing his reaction and newfound perspective inspires her to dedicate her life to the people around her, including her father, who is obsessed with his garden gnome; a failed writer; a hypochondriac; a man who stalks his ex-girlfriends; a 'ghost'; a suppressed young soul; the love of her life; and a man with brittle bones. However, as she becomes consumed by these escapades, she realizes that she is neglecting her own life and jeopardizing her quest for love."— Written by spragg_s(Source: IMDB)

One reviewer says, "A tale told over four seasons, starting in autumn when Juno, a 16-year-old high-school junior in Minnesota, discovers she's pregnant after one event in a chair with her best friend, Bleeker. In the waiting room of an abortion clinic, the quirky and whip-sharp Juno decides to give birth and to place the child with an adoptive couple. She finds one in the PennySaver personals, contacts them, tells her dad and step-mother, and carries on with school. The chosen parents, upscale yuppies (one of whom is cool and laid back, the other meticulous and uptight), meet Juno, sign papers, and the year unfolds. Will Juno's plan work, can she improvise, and what about Bleeker?" Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
