Synopsis

It doesn't take a fashion expert to know that Coco Chanel was one of the most influential designers and style icons of the 20th century - but this elegant drama takes us back to Chanel's little-known, humble beginnings. After growing up in a strict Catholic orphanage, Coco and her sister Adrienne scrape a living as cabaret singers and seamstresses - until Coco meets a well-heeled Parisian named Balsan, and spots an opportunity to start moving up in the world
