Coincidentally, he finds Edna there, also penniless, but also one of the immigrants on the ship, who has become a waiter, who does not tolerate bad payers. How to get out of it?

🎙️ A word from the Tikino team:

Now a classic, The Emigrant is said to have been Charlie Chaplin's favorite short film. In any case, it is one of his most personal films since it is inspired by the filmmaker's own experience. But above all, it achieves the feat of dealing with a sensitive social subject in a comic way, mixing laughter and emotion at every moment. " That is the genius of Chaplin ," said the philosopher Gilles Deleuze, " to do both together, to make us laugh all the more because we are moved ."
