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.
This is dread built from stone and shadow rather than shock. The terror is moral and human — cruelty dressed as piety, a crowd's appetite for spectacle, and a soul crushed under the weight of others' fear. The cathedral looms like a living thing, beautiful and merciless, while the true horror sits in men who feel entitled to judge.
