It’s 1963 and Paris is sizzling with sex. The stylishly butch Gigola spends her days roaming chic cafés, taking on the criminal underclass, enticing pretty femmes away from their pimps, breaking hearts and making enemies along the way. Gigola is based on the cult series of novels from bad-girl novelist Laure Charpentier, whose original novel Gigola was banned upon publication in 1972.
