SYNOPSIS
In 1482, a tale of lust and love shook Paris. The story begins with the Parisian minstrel Gringoire's song about the new age. Bishop Frollo of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has the hunchbacked bellhop Quasimodo as his loyal servant. Meanwhile, gypsies gather in the square in front of the cathedral where Clopin and a beautiful woman named Esmeralda live. After seeing Esmeralda dancing by chance, Bishop Frollo is overcome with desire for her, and the captain of the guards, Phoebus, also falls in love with Esmeralda with his fiancée Fleur de Lys left behind. And then a fateful tragedy unfolds from mingled feelings between these three men; Quasimodo in sadness, Frollo in obsession, and Phoebus in lust.
The age of the cathedral has arrived. The world has entered a new millennium. Men aspiring to touch the sky inscribe their history on glass and stone. - The Age of Cathedrals

ABOUT THE NOVEL
Published in 1831 by French author Victor Hugo, the original novel is an immortal classic that provides a majestic depiction about human beings in the 15th century Paris who have fallen into a twisted love; it portrays the unattainable love of Quasimodo, the hunchbacked and ugly bellhop of Notre Dame Cathedral, for the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda, as well as the downfall of a priest who succumbs to earthly desire and ultimately walked the road to self-destruction. The novel is considered one of the greatest French Romantic literary works, ranking alongside Victor Hugo’s another masterpiece “Les Misérables.” Its timeless quality is reflected in various adaptations including movies, plays and musicals. Notably, it portrays the chaotic society of its time, the unjust system of punishment, and the marginalized lives of outsiders.
The narrative still resonates with contemporary audiences, offering satire on the symbols of power, the Notre Dame Cathedral and the metropolis of Paris.
