When his uncle somehow disappears, he operates the clocks himself so he doesn't have to be taken to an orphanage. His main goal is to fix the automaton his father never fixed. When he met Isabella, goddaughter to an old man named George Meliez, he notices the key for the automaton around her neck. He takes takes the key and when he puts the key inside, it paints a painting, at the end, the initials says George Meliez. Hugo figures out why it has his name, not his fathers.
