  2. The main theme presented in the story is the wish of Dorian Gray about being young and beautiful forever instead of his picture. He says he would give everything to achieve it, and precisely, he gives his soul for that. As it's said in the end of the trailer, it's the story of a man's soul and the evil destiny which enslaved it.

  3. The trailer presents the amazing history of Oscar Wild about a soul of a man: Dorian Gray, who has an obsession with beauty and youth, and this obsession led him to his own degradation through horrible behaviours, for example the murder of his friend
