Quick Synopsis

In Victorian London, a handsome young aristocrat named Dorian Gray is introduced to the indulgent lifestyle of Lord Henry Wotton, whose influence leads Dorian to become fixated on preserving his youthful looks. To achieve this, Dorian commissions a unique portrait that ages instead of him, allowing him to stay physically young while the painting bears the marks of time. As Dorian's obsession with eternal youth grows, he takes increasingly desperate measures to protect the secret of the portrait, which ultimately causes his privileged life to unravel and descend into turmoil.
