  Following scenes of chaotic departures from an unnamed railway station and bus stop, Monsieur Hulôt, an apparent bachelor of comedic gait, is seen driving his rudimentary 1924 Salmson AL car to his beachside vacation hotel. He battles with both hills and more modern cars along the way. On his arrival at the hotel he causes chaos when he opens the door during a stiff sea breeze. The rest of the film shows other guests at the hotel, together with a very attractive resident of a boarding house up the road, interacting with Hulôt and each other, with Hulôt causing more comedic chaos throughout.

  An aspiring clown grappling with her gender identity combats a fascistic caped crusader.
  

  Vera Drew redefines the Batman narrative with "The People's Joker," a film that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and boldly interprets the iconic Joker character through a trans coming-of-age story. As both director and star, Drew utilized crowdsourced contributions from over 100 artists, predominantly from trans and queer communities, to create a film that blends traditional storytelling with innovative animation and CGI. Despite facing potential legal challenges from Warner Bros. over copyright issues, Drew's project navigated these hurdles without direct confrontation, emphasizing its status as a parody intended for fair use. The film, which also received positive critical reception for its inventive and subversive approach, reflects Drew’s critique of the comic book monoculture and her personal journey within the often-regressive world of comedy. "The People's Joker" not only showcases Drew’s artistic audacity but also marks an important cultural commentary on identity and representation in contemporary media.
