노르망디 해안의 어느 휴양지로 일단의 사람들이 휴가를 위해 몰려오고 영화의 끝에서 그들은 다시 원래 왔던 곳으로 돌아간다. 자끄 타티 감독의 영화에 등장하는 대중적인 캐릭터 윌로씨가 처음 등장하는 영화. 휴가철이 되자 브르타뉴 해변에는 휴양객들이 몰려든다. 그런데 그들의 휴가는 왠지 권태로워 보인다. 어느 날 그 곳에 신사적이고 점잖은 듯 보이는 윌로씨가 도착하며 소동이 일어난다. 영화는 일관된 이야기가 이어지기보다는 그저 휴가에 따라 벌어지는 소동을 보여준다. 윌로씨라는 인물이 황당한 행동을 하는 장면과 그가 벌인 일을 당한 휴양객들이 어리둥절해 하는 에피소드로 나뉜다. 사람들에게 잘 하려고 하지만 늘 사고를 일으키는 윌로씨는 그 곳의 천덕꾸러미 신세가 되고 만다. 그는 늘 한 발짝 늦는 바람에 세상과 조화되지 못하고 늘 겉도는 인생이다. 그리고 세상은 그런 그를 배려하지 않는다. 슬랩스틱 코미디의 대중적인 호소력과 모더니즘적 실험을 융합한 영화들을 만들며 작가의 위치에 올라선 감독 자크 타티는 윌로씨라는 캐릭터를 만들어 내며 그 후 수 편의 영화를 만들었다(이 엉뚱하기 그지없는 아저씨 윌로씨를 연기하는 이는 자크 타티 감독 본인이다). 훗날 트뤼포는 '드와넬' 시리즈 중 한 편에서 윌로씨를 카메오 등장시키기도 했다.
