After becoming an integral character of a dazzling high life of Paris, radically changing the world of high fashion, designing a little black dress for women and dressing them in men's suit, few would have thought that Coco Chanel in former times was an ordinary cabaret singer Gabrielle Chanel, raised in an orphanage and grown up among prostitutes and their clients. But extraordinary talent, diligence, patience and, of course, luck helped her to pass this path full of love, despair, victory and defeat. This movie follows the life of Coco before she has been acclaimed as a great designer.
