Before she became Coco, the world-famous fashion designer, she was Gabrielle Chanel. After her mother’s death, her father deposited her and her sister, Adrienne (Marie Gillain), at an orphanage, where they learn to sew. They go on to become cabaret singers, but when Adrienne runs off with a wealthy suitor the newly christened Coco must go it alone until she meets gentleman farmer Étienne Balsan (Benoît Poelvoorde). She lives comfortably at his chateau, but he refuses to take her out in public, so she puts her skills as a seamstress to good use and designs outfits for his lady friends, like Emilienne (Emmanuelle Devos), an actress. From there begins the story of the legendary designer.
Rated PG-13, the film is in French with English subtitles and has a running time of 105 minutes.
