Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Esmeralda (French: Esméralda) is a 1905 French short silent film based on the 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame written by Victor Hugo. It was directed by Alice Guy-Blaché. There are two characters in the film, Esmeralda (Denise Becker) and Quasimodo (Henry Vorins). The film is the oldest film adaptation of the novel. The film was long considered to be lost, but an Italian film collector gave the last surviving copy to Gaumont. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
