This documentary tells us about two beautiful stories, two beautiful women, two routes of life that marked each in their own way the memories of the French. One, Gabrielle Bonheur Chasnel aka Coco Chanel is the great fashion designer and seamstress of genius, the other Léonie Bathiat known as Arletty is a wonderful actress. They both have an atypical path whose paths intersect several times.
