LES MISÉRABLES

- 3 hours
Sent to jail for stealing a loaf of bread in 19th-century France, prisoner Jean Valjean earns his release after 19 years of imprisonment only to find a world unwilling to give him a second chance. When a kind Bishop comes to his aid, Valjean breaks his parole in the hope of starting a new life with a new identity.
In time, Valjean is able to become a prosperous business owner, loving adoptive father, and politician. But not all is serene as a relentless police inspector, Javert, pursues the parole breaker Valjean, convinced that men cannot change. As Valjean confronts and evades Javert at various turns, each man must face how their game of cat and mouse has challenged their ideas of a virtuous life.
