Overview
A Victorian surgeon enrolls a heavily disfigured man being mistreated by his"owner" as a side-show freak. Behind his façade that was colossal, there's shown a person of intelligence and sensitivity. Primarily based on the actual story of Joseph Merrick (called John Merrick in the picture ), a badly deformed man in 19th century London.
