Epic Victor Hugo tale about love, money and desire. Esmerelda, the beautiful heroine of the story is caught in a web of desire and obsession.
Chapter one
We are introduced to Quasimodo, the deformed hunchback who hates everyone, because he is treated cruelly. Esmeralda - a beauty who was purchased from the gypsies by Clopin, the king of the bandits. We also meet Phoebus de Chateaupers, a handsome Captain - who is Esmeralda's secret love. And of course, Jehan, the evil brother of preacher man, Dom Claudio - who is a good guy. Jehan wants Esmeralda and will stop at nothing to get what he desires. Also - don't miss the great scene with the monkeys jumping on the unsuspecting woman at the festival.
Chapter two
The evil Jehan plans to have Quasimodo, his slave grab Esmeralda and take her home to satisfy his desire for her. But Esmeralda is saved by Phoebus de Chateaupers. We also get a glimpse of The Court of Miracles - a dark spot in the city where all the low lifes congregate. In this world Clopin is king. Esmeralda and Phoebus court and spark - Quasimodo gets flogged.
Chapter three
Opens with a terrific scene where Phoebus takes Esmeralda to a fancy ball - he even buys her some high budget designer clothes so she'll be more comfortable. Quasimodo is tired of Jehan after his whipping, and has a fondness for Esmeralda who was kind to him. When Clopin hears that Esmeralda is with Phoebus at the ball - Clopin gathers his band of thieves, vagrants and beggers to crash the party. A very tense scene - watch it yourself. Esmeralda goes home, and Phoebus pines for his love - but she won't return his phone calls.
