Synopsis
After spending 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean is released into a world that views him with bitterness and suspicion. Seeking redemption, he adopts a new identity and promises Fantine, a dying factory worker, that he will rescue and raise her mistreated daughter, Cosette. Valjean cares for Cosette as his own, but the relentless Inspector Javert pursues him, determined to see him returned to chains. Against the backdrop of a France surging toward revolution, the lives of Valjean, Cosette, Marius, and Javert intertwine in a powerful quest for freedom, courage, and love.
