Film Synopsis
Georges Flavier is the owner of a small hairdressing salon in a working
class district of Paris. One evening, he saves a man who has just
attempted to drown himself in the St Martin canal. Georges takes
pity on the man, a loser named Gus who has been unlucky in love, and
invites him to live with him. Grateful for this attention, the
young man immediately starts to inveigle his way into his benefactor's
life. Even though they have nothing in common, Georges and Gus
soon become inseparable. When he finds out that Georges once used
to style the hair of big name celebrities, Gus persuades him to enter a
prestigious hairdressing competition in Czechoslovakia...
