Synopsis in German
Die entzückende junge Gigi wird im ausgehenden 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert in Paris von ihrer Großmutter und ihrer Tante streng erzogen. Allerdings nicht, um sie zu einer anständigen Frau zu machen, sondern zu einer umworbenen Kurtisane...
Gigi selbst hat andere Vorstellungen vom Leben. Denn sie hat sich in den reichen jungen Lebemann Gaston, der ihrer Familie großzügige Angebote macht, verliebt. Mit ihrem Starrsinn macht sie all die schönen Pläne ihrer Familie zunichte. Doch gerade dadurch wird sie für Gaston immer interessanter. (3Sat Presse)
