Monsieur Hulot's brother-in-law is the manager of a factory where plastics are manufactured. His nephew grows up in a house where everything is fully automated and the boy is raised in a similar fashion. To take away the influence of the uncle on his son, his brother-in-law gets Hulot a job in his factory. —Leon Wolters <wolters@strw.LeidenUniv.nl> The hopeless Monsieur Hulot once again finds himself affecting people's lives without realizing what he has done.

Concerned that he may be a bad influence on the boy, Hulot's sister and brother-in-law devise a plan to keep him occupied. Their attempt to introduce him to other people at their garden party doesn't work out as planned - with hilarious results for everyone concerned. —garykmcd Set loose in a society of gaudy materialism, the amiably oblivious Monsieur Hulot finds himself hilariously out of sorts when visiting his sister, brother-in-law, and nephew at their bourgeois house--the geometric Villa Arpel, filled with oppressively bewildering and ultramodern "conveniences." —yusufpiskin Genial, bumbling Monsieur Hulot loves his top-floor apartment in a grimy corner of the city, and cannot fathom why his sister's family has moved to the suburbs. Their house is an ultra-modern nightmare, which Hulot only visits for the sake of stealing away his rambunctious young nephew.
