Weary of the conventions of Parisian society, a rich playboy and a youthful courtesan-in-training enjoy a platonic friendship, but it may not stay platonic for long. Gaston is the scion from a rich Parisian family and seeks emotional shelter from the superficial Parisian lifestyle. He has a relationship with Gigi, his ex-mistress, who was a tomboy grandchild. Gaston discovers that Gigi is now a woman. His aunt and grandmother, who raised Gigi as a mistress of a rich man, encourage him to play the role. But love surprises them in this charming turn-of-20th-century Cinderella tale. --Anonymous
