- Synopsis
- In 1960s Paris she became known as the world’s most exclusive “Madam”, a legend whose dazzling client list included John Kennedy, de Gaulle, Onassis, Pompidou, Agnelli, the Shah of Iran...
  The documentary opens and ends around 1993, the time of these exclusive and extensive interviews, when she’s filmed leaving Fleury-Mérogis Prison after her first sentence and few months in jail. The camera follows Claude walking around Paris, visiting an haute couture shop to dress a look-alike ”Claudette”, just before the second trial in which she was severely condemned. The story told in between is her life, by her own voice.
