Physician Frederick Treves discovers a strange curiosity at a London carnival – a deformed man who becomes an object of ridicule and social prejudice. But what if he is a human being with thoughts and feelings, and not just a freak of nature? David Lynch’s first internationally acclaimed movie in which he retains his typical surrealist traits but also brings an unexpected dose of humanism.
