The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

“The man who tried to cheat the devil.”

Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) runs a traveling theatre with his daughter Valentina (Lily Cole) and a small crew, bound by an ancient wager with the Devil himself. He lures audience members through a magical mirror to walk through their own imaginations, offering each a choice between truth and comfortable delusion. When a mysterious drifter named Tony (Heath Ledger) joins the troupe, the old bargain tightens around them all.
