Dante (voiced by Graham McTavish) was 35 years old when he got lost in a dark forest. He tried hard to find a way out of the maze, and at dawn he came to the foot of a hill full of sunshine. This was a beacon that illuminated his journey. He was climbing step by step to the top of the mountain, when suddenly three beasts (a leopard, a lion, and a wolf, symbolizing lust, violence, and greed) rushed towards him. Dante shouted for help. At this time, the ancient Roman poet Virgil (voiced by Peter Jessop) appeared. He was asked by Beatrice (voiced by Vanessa Branch) to help Dante get out of the maze and guide him to travel through hell and purgatory. Hell is shaped like a funnel that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a total of 9 layers. The first layer is the waiting room, where ancient pagans who were born before Christ and failed to receive baptism wait for God's judgment. In the remaining 8 layers, the souls of sinners receive different harsh punishments according to the sins they committed in their lifetime (lust, gluttony, greed, anger, belief in cults, violence, fraud, betrayal). The film is adapted from Dante's work "Divine Comedy". More than 50 illustrations from the published cartoon book "Dante's Journey into Inferno" are used in this film.
