"Toulon, 1815. Jean Valjean è il prigioniero numero 24601, condannato a diciannove inverni di lavori forzati per aver rubato un pezzo di pane sfamando un nipote affamato. Rilasciato a seguito di un'amnistia prova a ricostruirsi una vita e una dignità nel mondo, nonostante gli avvertimenti e le intimidazioni di Javert, integerrimo secondino della prigione convinto che un ladro non possa che perseverare nel male. Convertito al bene dall'atto caritatevole di Monsignor Myriel, Valjean prende coscienza dei suoi peccati e decide di mondare il suo destino, assumendo il nome di Monsieur Madeleine... (Mymovies)."

"Après avoir purgé vingt ans de bagne pour le vol d'un morceau de pain, Jean Valjean entreprend de se réhabiliter en vivant honorablement. Devenu maire d'un village, il fait la rencontre de Fantine, une mère célibataire qui se meurt. Par compassion, Valjean accepte de recueillir et d'élever sa fille Cosette. Mais c'était sans compter sur le destin, qui remet Valjean sur la route de l'inspecteur Javert, son ancien geôlier, qui demeure convaincu que toute rédemption est impossible."
""The scene is set during the French Restoration at the beginning of the 19th century. Jean Valjean, a galley slave who was sent to prison for stealing food, is now released after serving nineteen years. At first he only encounter mistrust and closed doors; only the saintly Bishop Bienvenu treats him kindly and takes him in. The bishop's truly Christian compassion and humanity not only restores Jean Valjean's faith in the good, but also smoothes his way back to an orderly life. As Monsieur Madeleine, Valjean is soon a wealthy industrialist and popular citizen, even becoming the mayor of a small provincial town. His good fortune departs, however, when he meets Fantine, one of his workers, an unmarried mother who tragically dies of consumption. The well-intentioned Valjean frees Fantine's illegitimate daughter Cosette from the clutches of her insidious foster parents, and looks after her like a father. When Valjean reveals his true identity in order to prevent an innocent man who closely resembles him from being sold into a life of slavery as a result of a police error, he is convicted yet again. Valjean soon succeeds in escaping yet again, however, and manages to live under a false name in Paris for a few years. When Cosette, now a young lady, falls in love with the young attorney Marius Pontmercy, Valjean forbids the match - because he has fallen in love with the young girl himself... At this point, however, Marius finds out about Valjean's disreputable past and about Valjean's love for her and has no choice but to keep him away from Cosette. Valjean, thinking of his former benefactor Bishop Bienvenu, now makes the ultimate sacrifice - he decides to do without Cosette. A short while later Valjean falls seriously ill, but in the face of death he leaves a message of love to the young couple: "There is only one thing in the world that is important - and that is to love each other.""

When Valjean comes across a woman being arrested by his old nemesis Javert, Valjean intervenes, risking discovery. When Valjean learns that the woman, Fantine, turned to prostitution after losing her position at his factory because she has a child, he befriends Fantine, even agreeing to care for her daughter, Cosette. The decision changes their lives forever."

"Hugo's epic story, which follows the life of Jean Valjean, has a depth of vision, a compassion and a veracity that have ensured its place as one of the great works of European literature. Set largely in Paris against a background of revolution and political unrest, it centres on the underdogs or outcasts of society, in particular Valjean. Once a hardened criminal, Valjean has repented his crimes, but is nevertheless pursued by the implacable detective Javert. In scenes of unforgettable dramatic power, Valjean is chased through the sewers of Paris, while the July Revolution rages on."@en
