Not the only, but most famous, adaptation of the novel of the same name Victor Hugo. Guinplen is disfigured in childhood by order of the king. He is adopted by a stray artist Ursus. Thanks to his ugliness, the boy becomes very popular. Behind the terrible appearance of Guinplen, a sensitive, selfless and loving soul is hidden. He falls in love with a blind girl Deya. The king is dying, and his evil jester begins to build the intrigues of Guinplen.
