Summary:
"A carnival boss (Gérard Depardieu) rescues two orphans in a winter storm - a beautiful, blind girl and a boy whose face is deformed by a scar that makes him look as though he's constantly laughing. They travel together for many years performing a show in which the boy is the star - people come from everywhere to see The Man Who Laughs. As he becomes famous and rich, he gradually grows distant from the only two people in the world who love him for what he is."--Container.
"En pleine tourmente hivernale, Ursus, un forain haut en couleurs, recueille dans sa roulotte deux orphelins perdus dans la tempête : Gwynplaine, un jeune garçon marqué au visage par une cicatrice qui lui donne en permanence une sorte de rire, et Déa, une fillette aveugle. Quelques années plus tard, ils sillonnent ensemble les routes et donnent un spectacle dont Gwynplaine, devenu adulte, est la vedette. Partout on veut voir 'L'Homme qui rit', il fait rire et émeut les foules. Ce succès ouvre au jeune homme les portes de la célébrité et de la richesse et l'éloigne des deux seuls êtres qui l'aient toujours aimé pour ce qu'il est : Déa et Ursus."--Conteneur.
