London, 1884. Surgeon Frederick Treves discovers a man who is completely disfigured and deformed, now a fair attraction. John Merrick, "the monster," is named after his mother’s terrible accident. Then, pregnant for a few months, she is run over by an elephant. Impressed by such deformities, Dr. Treves buys Merrick, thus removing him from the violence of his owner, and the daily humiliation of being put on display. The surgeon thinks that «the monster» is a congenital idiot. He quickly discovers in Merrick a wounded man, intelligent and endowed with great sensitivity.
