Paris, France, 1482. Frollo, Chief Justice of benevolent King Louis XI, gets infatuated by the beauty of Esmeralda, a young Romani girl. The hunchback Quasimodo, Frollo's protege and bell-ringer of Notre Dame, lives in peace among the bells in the heights of the immense cathedral until he is involved by the twisted magistrate in his malicious plans to free himself from Esmeralda's alleged spell, which he believes to be the devil's work.
Quasimodo finds a fleeting sense of belonging within the cathedral bells before his world shatters under the weight of Frollo's obsession. This shadows-and-stone nightmare transforms a classic tale into a chilling study of isolation and madness.
