A little girl who is sent with her sister to an orphanage in the heart of France, who waits in vain every Sunday for her father to come for her. . . A cabaret performer with a weak voice who sings to an audience of drunken soldiers. . . A humble seamstress, who stitches hems at the back of a provincial tailor's shop. . . A young, skinny courtesan, to whom protector ?tienne Balsan (Beno?t Poelvoorde) offers a safe haven, amongst the idle and decadent. . . A woman in love who knows she will never be anyone?s wife, refusing marriage even to Arthur 'Boy' Capel (Alessandro Nivola), the man who returned her love. . . A rebel who finds the conventions of her time oppressive, and instead dresses in her lovers' clothes. This is the story of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (Audrey Tautou, Am?lie), who begins her life as a headstrong orphan, and through an extraordinary journey becomes the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style.
