About Les Misérables
After serving a 19-year prison sentence, Jean Valjean is released on parole, only to find himself back in the tumultuous and grimy streets of 19th-century France. Plagued by his criminal past, Valjean assumes a new identity in order to escape, but he is relentlessly pursued by the unforgiving Inspector Javert. Amidst the chaos, Valjean forms an unexpected bond with Cosette, a young girl trapped in a world of misery and despair without a parent to protect her. Their journey takes them through the tumultuous city of Paris, culminating in the heart of the June Rebellion of 1832, where they must confront their pasts in order to determine the course of their future.
