Gavroche vend des parapluies

The film follows Gavroche as he tries to sell his first umbrella, leading to a series of humorous events. His determination to succeed drives him to follow a man home, where he encounters an obstacle: the umbrella is too wide to fit through the doorway. Rather than giving up, Gavroche devises a clever plan to reach the man's balcony using hot air from burning rags to make his umbrella fly.

This early comedic short not only reflects the creativity of its time but also offers a glimpse into the storytelling techniques of silent cinema. Gavroche's antics culminate in a crash through a window, where he finally attempts to pitch his umbrella to the surprised couple inside. The film captures the spirit of early 20th-century comedy and the inventive narratives that characterized the era.
