Synopsis
The kindly, eccentric, and utterly uncoordinated Monsieur Hulot putters into a quiet seaside resort in Brittany in his sputtering vintage jalopy, inadvertently unleashing a series of gentle, chaotic comic mishaps among the stuffy vacationers. Jacques Tati's poetic, sound-designed visual comedy masterpiece that introduced his immortal alter ego.
