Monsieur and Madame Arpel live in a remarkably modern house in a crisp, clean neighbourhood. In this excessively controlled universe there is no room for play, chance or humour, and their son Gérard is bored stiff. However the calm is broken with the sudden eruption and arrival of his eccentric uncle, Monsieur Hulot, Madame Arpel’s brother. The whole family and entourage resent his whimsicality, especially as he becomes a role model for Gérard …
“Unforgettably funny, wonderfully observed, and always technically brilliant.” (Derek Adams – Time Out)
