Les Misérables

Jean Valjean spends 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread, and the experience leaves him tough and bitter. After his release, he tries to turn his life around by taking on a new identity and becoming a respected member of society. He promises Fantine, a factory worker who is dying and will no longer be able to care for her daughter, that he will save and care for her daughter Cosette, who is being mistreated by the Thénardier family. Valjean raises Cosette as his own child, but Inspector Javert keeps chasing him, determined to prove Valjean is still a criminal.

As France faces growing unrest and the city moves toward revolution, the lives of Valjean, Cosette, Marius, and Javert become tightly connected. Through hardship, courage, and his desire to do what is right, Valjean continues his search for redemption and tries to give Cosette a life filled with love and freedom.
