Lovely Esmeralda haunted by an obsessive wouldbe lover and unjustly accused of murder unexpectedly finds a tormented protector in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Quasimodo the hunchback keeps to his duties as bellringer of Notre Dame cathedral and stays close to his guardian the Archdeacon Claude Frollo. His devotion proves misguided when a plan of Frollos goes wrong and Quasimodo finds himself abused by a crowd and shown mercy only by the gypsy girl Esmeralda. The hunchbacks love and resolve to protect her leads to desperate action and tragedy when she is falsely accused of murder. Emotions run high as societys elite falters and fails and the lowest misfits of society prove their worth in this timeless epic of love justice and redemption.
