The Man Who Laughs
In the middle of a harsh winter, Ursus (Gérard Depardieu), a colourful carnival boss, rescues two orphans lost in a storm: Gwynplaine (Marc-André Grondin), a young boy whose face is deformed by a scar that makes him look as though he's constantly laughing, and Déa (Christa Theret), a blind girl. A few years later, they travel throughout the land, performing a show in which Gwynplaine is the star. People come from everywhere to see The Man Who Laughs - he makes people laugh and enthralls the crowd. As time goes by, success opens important doors to the young man, he becomes famous and rich, and eventually abandons the only two people in the world who love him for what he is. Based on the novel by Victor Hugo ("The Hunchback of Notre-Dame", "Les Misérables").
