Quasimodo d'El Paris is a 1999 French film that is a comedic adaptation of the 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (Notre-Dame de Paris) by Victor Hugo.
The location is the town of El Paris. When ten-year-old boy Quasimodo shows signs of deformity, his well-to-do parents place him in the charge of the town’s mysterious evangelist, Frollo. In exchange, they adopt a Cuban girl, Esméralda, from a lower social class. Ten years later, El Paris is menaced by a serial killer, and Quasimodo is the prime suspect.[2]
