In nineteenth-century France, a man named Jean Valjean walks out of prison after serving years for stealing a loaf of bread. Hardened by punishment yet desperate for dignity, he tries to rebuild his life under a new name. But one person refuses to let him escape his past: Inspector Javert, a man devoted to the law with absolute conviction.
As Valjean tries to live with honesty, he crosses paths with Fantine, a factory worker pushed into misery while fighting to provide for her daughter, Cosette. Valjean’s promise to protect the child becomes the turning point of his life, pulling him into a struggle far larger than himself.
Years later, France trembles with political unrest. Young revolutionaries prepare to rise against the government, and among them is Marius, who falls in love with the now-grown Cosette. Javert closes in. The streets of Paris tighten with tension. Every character is swept into a clash between survival, justice, love, and the longing for a better world.
Through soaring moments of hope and harsh moments of sacrifice, Les Misérables traces the journey of people who refuse to give up on compassion, even when the world tries to crush it.
