Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes where he unwittingly separates a young boy from his father and must help 
the two come back together. On the way he discovers France, bicycling, and true love, among other things.

==========

In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean--the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of 
pratfalls and hijinks--goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure 
of cinematic proportions. Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder 
to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. But his trip doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped when the 
bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to 
make his own avant-garde film. Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some 
serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his vacation 
spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by 
the gendarmes or end up winning the Palme Door.

==========

Mr. Bean enters a church raffle and wins a vacation trip to France as well as a camcorder. After boarding 
a Eurostar train and arriving in Paris, the French language proves a barrier for Bean, as he struggles to 
get across the city to catch a train to the south of France from the Gare de Lyon. Taking time to order a 
meal, he finds the consumption of a seafood platter to be a challenge. Just before catching his train, he 
asks Emil, a Russian film director on his way to be a judge at the Cannes Film festival to use his camcorder 
to record his boarding, but accidentally causes Emil being left behind at the station. Bean attempts to 
cheer up the director's son Stepan as the train continues south but matters are made more hectic by the 
fact that Emil has reported his son to have been kidnapped and Bean losing his wallet and essential travel 
documents at a pay phone where he and Stepan attempt to contact Emil. Heading in the direction of Cannes, 
Bean finds himself in the cast and disrupting the flow of a commercial being shot by the egotistical director 
Carson Clay. He and Stepan finally hitch a ride with the young and vivacious actress Sabine who is heading 
to Cannes to attend the premiere of Clay's film, in which she appears. After Bean sneaks into the showing, 
his camcorder images are destined to enliven the proceedings.
