The story follows an immortal thousand-year-old master name Doctor Parnassus
(Christopher Plummer,
He was not originally an immortal, though, but became so after besting Mr Nick
(Tom Waits)
in a small little bet.
He travels all over present day London with with his ‘family’,Anton (Andrew Garfield),
a wise little dwarf, Percy (Verne Troyer),
and Parnassus own daughter, Valentina
(Lily Cole).
In their possession is a magic mirror,
one that gives their audience members a chance of going into a magical reality that reflects their innermost desires
(but also one that could easily turn around to blow you up).
As they go about trying to make ends meet day by day, they come across a young man, Tony
(Heath Ledger, and later by Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell),
who was found dangling from his neck under a bridge.
Things becomes more than just a little complicated when Mr Nick turns up, intending to collect on an earlier arrangement made between him and Doctor Parnassus.
