Gigi is a carefree girl being taught the high-society ways of fashionable Paris; Gaston is an aristocratic playboy who has begun to bore of the extravagant lifestyle he’s enjoyed for so long. When the two meet, they feel a bond, though still separated by society class structure. When Gaston proposes to take Gigi as a mistress, the two must weigh the standards of Parisian culture and their own personal feelings to come to a decision on their mutual destiny.
