Synopsis
A pitch-black and wonderfully trashy comedy based on stories and gossip from the world of fashion and showbiz, Paris is both lyrical and critical of a society that is obsessed with beauty, money, status and power. The first part, I Love Paris, tells the story of three friends who each want to make it. Hope hopes for a successful modelling career despite a big scar on her face. Faith has faith that she will make it big as a singer, while Chastity literally sleeps her way to the top - as a porn star. The second part, I hate Paris, goes on to tell of their rise - and fall.
