[Machine Translation] Jean Renoir, the master director known for his numerous masterpieces such as "Picnic", "The Great Vision", "Rules of the Game", and "French Cancan", adapted the play of the same title by Maxim Gorky, a representative of Russian literature. With the permission of Gorky, who was still alive at the time, Renoir changed the setting to Paris and added an episode not in the original story, in which a baron loses everything due to gambling and ends up living in a cheap inn. In the final scene, Renoir pays homage to Chaplin, who was a major influence on him. Jean Gabin plays the thief Pepere, and Louis Jouvet plays the Baron in this famous film that won the first Louis Deluc Award. --The film is set in a cheap inn where people living at the bottom of the world sleep. Among them is the thief Pepere. He is in love with Vasilisa, the greedy young wife of the landlord, and her sister Natasha is also secretly in love with him. One day, Pepere sneaks into the baron's house, where he meets the baron, who is about to commit suicide, and they hit it off. A few days later, the baron goes bankrupt and loses everything. Meanwhile, Papel has his heart set on leaving his relationship with Vasilisa and living with Natasha, but when Vasilisa finds out, she becomes jealous and devises a scheme....
