The story

Elderly sage Doctor Parnassus runs a travelling theatre troupe, which includes his teenage daughter Valentina, barker Anton, and dwarf Percy.

As the troupe crosses a bridge, Anton notices someone hanging beneath it.

He lures a posh, affluent woman into the Imaginarium and follows her; they enter a pastel-coloured dream world representing her imagination.
