In a world where a stolen loaf of bread can chain a man to decades of suffering, Jean Valjean has just been freed after being incarcerated for 19 years. However, on breaking his parole and escaping to start a new life, he incites the wrath of Officer Javert who vows to bring him back. On his journey towards redemption, his path intersects with Fantine, a woman whose devastating sacrifice for her child is a searing indictment of societal indifference, and later with the combustible young revolutionaries who dare to imagine a world redrawn by passion and principle.
