Synopsis:
Mr Hulot arrives to a hotel for a vacation on the French coast. He is charming and all the other guests like him, yet his vacation soon becomes strenuous for everybody. Wherever he turns, trouble follows him, though he is completely unaware of it.
This film depicts holiday events with the sort of attention to detail typical of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin’s films.
