It's 1963 and Paris is sizzling with sex. The stylishly butch Gigola spends her days roaming chic cafes, taking on the criminal underclass, enticing pretty femmes away from their pimps, breaking hearts and making enemies along the way. Her evenings are spent in famous lesbian cabaret bar Chez Moune, picking up rich older women who keep her flush. Charpentier's film evokes a bygone era when sex was a way of life.
