Synopsis
A biographical period drama that tells the moving true story of Joseph Merrick, a severely deformed man fighting for his dignity in Victorian society. Through a profoundly humanistic tone, David Lynch explores concepts such as compassion, exclusion, and the authentic condition of beauty. The film combines sensitivity and rawness in one of the director's most moving works.
