Sinopse

A história de John Merrick, um desafortunado cidadão da Inglaterra vitoriana que era portador do caso mais grave de neurofibromatose múltipla registrado, tendo 90% do seu corpo deformado. Esta situação tendia fazer com que ele passasse toda a sua existência se exibindo em circos de variedades como um monstro. Inicialmente era considerado um débil mental pela sua dificuldade de falar, até que um médico, Frederick Treves, o descobriu e o levou para um hospital. Lá Merrick se liberou emocionalmente e intelectualmente, além de se mostrar uma pessoa sensível ao extremo, que conseguiu recuperar sua dignidade.
