This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th
century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief
Jean Valjean is released from his
19-year term and not only becomes and honest man, but the mayor of a
prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole
in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent
life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years
later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student
uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with
Valjean’s adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully
redeemed.
