Based on Victor Hugo's novel and set amidst the political upheaval of a developing France LES MISERABLES is a poignant, emotional story that follows ex-convict Jean Valjean's lifelong struggle for redemption after being imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread. Once released he remains an outcast of society and in a stroke of desperation breaks his parole to gain his freedom. Police inspector Javert vows to hunt him down and bring Valjean to justice.
