Short description

Several years after leaving the orphanage, to which her father never returned for her, Gabrielle Chanel finds herself working in a provincial bar. She's both a seamstress for the performers and a singer, earning the nickname Coco from the song she sings nightly with her sister. A liaison with Baron Balsan gives her an entree into French society and a chance to develop her gift for designing.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Keira Knightley was also considered for the lead role.
  • In the film's title, 'before' (French: avant, English: before) is a preposition that reflects the film's content – the biography of Gabrielle-Coco before the days when she became the world-famous Chanel.
