Set in 1931 in Paris most of the action takes place in the Gare Montparnasse railway station where Hugo, recently orphaned, lives on his own in its walls and keeps the clocks working. His daily routine is one of survival and we see him pilfering food and other essentials as he observes through the clock faces and other apertures the microcosm of the world that is represented in the hustle and bustle of daily life in the railway station. But the key to the story revolves around an automaton that he is trying to fix that he believes holds a message from his dead father; through his efforts he befriends Isabelle, a young girl looking for adventure.

This is contrasted with the robotic depiction of the workers. The process of how Wierzbiki, Stephanides, and O’Malley work in the factory is repeated six times, making a mechanical rhythm, like they are the metal and electricity instead of feelings and personality.
