It’s the summer holiday season and M. Hulot, like many others, has decided to spend his vacation at the French seaside, specifically at l’Hotel de la Plage resort. Quite often with a pipe in his mouth, Hulot is a pretty quiet fellow, but that still does not stop him from getting into a lot of trouble. Although he does get along with many of the other resort guests – such as the Englishwoman who is amazed at the effectiveness of his unique tennis style, or the beautiful Martine – most, unfortunately, must deal with the bad outcomes of his unintentionally bumbling, albeit good-natured, actions.

This QUAD Essentials screening will include an introduction and post-film discussion.
