When Gigi blossoms into a beautiful young woman, both she and Gaston will have to confront the reality of their feelings for each other, and Gigi, fighting for her happiness, will have to convince her loved ones to look beyond the usual business arrangement. Gaston’s uncle, Honore, himself a former lover of Madame Alvarez, is trying to interest his nephew in the dissipated life: parties, girls, roulette, and more girls are the things that make life worth living! But Gaston is only happy in the humble Alvarez abode, clowning around with the girl he thinks of as his little sister. Gigi finds her lessons in deportment tedious, and would rather skip class and play at cards with Gaston Lachailles, an indolent and wealthy young visitor to her home.
Bright, appealing young Gigi, still a rambunctious girl-child, is being raised by her loving grandmother, Madame Alvarez, and her stern Aunt Alicia, the former flame of numerous royalty, to follow in their path.
Gigi, a colorful and sophisticated tale with a sentimental heart, takes place in the ornate, elegant Paris of the 1900s - when gentlemen of leisure strolled the verdant boulevards, and working girls in the oldest profession attained social heights as elegant courtesans, cultured ladies of some standing who served as public mistresses to lucky, wealthy men.
