Notre Dame of Paris

1482, in Paris, the troubadour Gringoire tells us the story of the Bohemians who arrive in Paris, guided by Clopin. The loaner Frollo convinces Phoebus, a young knight, to drive out the undocumented migrants. But among the undocumented migrants is Esmeralda, the queen of "The Court of Miracles". Phoebus and Esmaralda fall in love with each other.
Yet he is not the only one to notice Esmeralda

Quasimodo is the bell ringer of the cathedral, owes everything to Frollo who raised him. Phoebus, a young knight, is to be married in Fleur-de-Lys. The three men fall in love with Esmeralda.

The three men will do anything to get Esmeralda's hand and go as far as crime and betrayal if necessary.
