In a shabby corner of Paris, Gigi (Monique Vita) a prostitute attempts to settle scores with the pimp who controls her life and income, drifting through cheap interiors and tourist-friendly views of the city, repeatedly interrupted by erotic encounters and lingering close-ups of an antique Métro train. The confrontation offers no escape, only a return to the same cycle of exploitation and dependence.
