Patrick is a male prostitute who hides his double life from his wife.

When she finds out about his extramarital activities by answering his phone, she decides she will catch him in a hotel room with a client.

At first offended by the behavior of her husband, she soon asks him to continue to be a male escort to help pay the bills.

Patrick meets a female client, Judith, with whom they live out a complicated love story.

A French Gigolo premiered at the Rome Film Festival in October 2008.
