## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Jacques Tati makes a film about how much he hates modern architecture. The cheerfully impractical Monsieur Hulot visits his upwardly mobile sister's family in their aggressively modern suburban home. Naturally, she tries to get him a job and a wife. It's very French.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, bittersweet, playful
