Les Misérables

The adaptation brings Victor Hugo's timeless tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption from the stage to the big screen, set against the backdrop of 19th-century France. Jean Valjean, a man unjustly imprisoned for stealing bread to feed his sister's starving family, emerges years later as a broken but determined individual seeking a new life free from his past. Despite his attempts at rebuilding, he becomes the target of Inspector Javert, a dogged lawman who sees only an escaped criminal where others see a reformed man. Their ongoing cat-and-mouse game unfolds against the backdrop of the French student revolutions, as Valjean is swept up in the fervor and ultimately forced to make choices that will shape the course of his life. The pursuit of justice and redemption becomes an obsession for both men, challenging their beliefs and testing the limits of human endurance.
