Le portrait de Dorian Gray

London, 1886. The handsome Dorian Gray makes a wish, that his portrait should grow old instead of him. Time passes. Influenced by Lord Henri Wotton, he becomes cold, insensitive and cruel, but remains forever young-looking. Only the painting shows the signs of his ageing and decadence...
