Synopsis
La Guerre de Cent Ans ayant pris fin, la France connaît enfin la paix. Mais alors que les gitans continuent à être chassés de partout, Esmeralda, une danseuse bohémienne d’une rare beauté, réussit à s’introduire dans Paris avec pour but de défendre son peuple auprès du roi Louis XI, souverain plus ouvert que ses prédécesseurs. Elle devient l’objet de nombreuses convoitises, celle de Frollo, l’intransigeant conseiller du roi, de Phoebus, un soldat gouailleur, mais aussi du bossu Quasimodo, le sonneur de cloches de Notre-Dame tombé amoureux d’elle depuis le jour où elle le prit en pitié alors, qu’attaché au pilori, il était devenu la risée du peuple. Une fois délivré, il va se faire le protecteur d’Esmeralda alors qu’elle est accusée de meurtre.
