Chouchou is a 2003 French comedy film directed by Merzak Allouache and produced by Christian Fechner. The film follows a cross-dressing Maghrebi man who settles in Paris to find his nephew. The film stars Gad Elmaleh as the title character Chouchou, for which he was nominated the César Award for Best Actor.

Plot

Choukri "Chouchou," a light-eyed Algerian, arrives illegally in Paris to find his nephew. Dressed in a poncho, he claims to be a Chilean refugee and tries to find shelter by offering his services: cleaning, ironing, cooking. He is directed to the church where Father Léon, a Catholic priest, takes him in. He is assisted by Brother Jean "Coco," a former drug addict who is plagued by visions. Father Léon has Chouchou hired as a handyman by Nicole Milovavovich, a psychotherapist whose office is nearby.

She quickly understands Chouchou's personality, appreciates his good humor, and allows him to disguise himself for work. Chouchou finds a job as a waiter in a drag cabaret in Clichy through his transvestite friend and his nephew, where he meets Stanislas. Besides the love he feels for him, he will experience the friendship and support of Father Leon, Brother Jean and Doctor Milovavovich in response to the malicious hostility of a neurotic inspector.
