The Man In The Hat

A charming and whimsical French film that follows The Man in the Hat (Ciaran Hinds) as he travels through northern France meeting a range of eclectic and fascinating characters. With minimal dialogue and a great soundtrack, this fun, feel-good film is your armchair passport to travel.

The Man in the Hat sets off from Marseilles in a small Fiat 500. On the seat beside him is a framed photograph of an unknown woman. Behind him is a car into which is squeezed five bald men. Why are they chasing him? And how can he shake them off?
