 This is a story of blind love, betrayal and revenge. The court jester, Rigoletto, tries vehemently to protect his beloved daughter, Gilda, from the evil world. Unfortunately he does not notice how his own instruments have become inhuman in this fight. Blinded by revenge, he unknowingly sacrifices his own daughter.
