Ah, Paris! The city of painting, the home of great art and food, the capital of the sensual. When American GI Jerry Mulligan arrives looking to make his name as a painter, he finds the city alive with the intoxicating sense that anything is possible. As he traipses the alleys and cafes of Frances’ ancient capital, he finds himself following a chance encounter with Lisa, a beautiful young dancer. A firestorm of passion ignites, in the city of love, in the aftermath of war, in the hearts of two young people with nothing to lose.
