details

Standard story of the Phantom does have one major variation - The phantom is not a disfigured individual, but rather is an unwashed orphan abandoned in the sewers under the Paris Opera & raised by rats. The Phantom invokes death upon anyone who dares harm his beloved rats. In fact, The Phantom's nemesis is the chief exterminator (Istvan Bubik) who develops a rat-catching machine.

In Paris 1877, rats save a baby from death and raise him in the underground of the Opera de Paris. This child becomes The Phantom of the Opera (Julian Sands), a half-human half-animal breed, who falls in love with Christine Daaé (Asia Argento), an opera singer just beginning her career. He fights for her love against the aristocratic Baron Raoul De Chagny (Andrea Di Stefano), though Christine loves them both equally. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
