‘To love another person is to see the face of God.’

How crushing and dizzying the hunger must be, that you’re led to steal a bite of bread only to pay for it with your entire life.

Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison after serving nineteen years for stealing a loaf of bread. Struggling to find redemption and live an honest life, he is constantly pursued by the relentless Inspector Javert. On this journey he meets Fantine, a woman who is forced to sell her hair and her teeth to support her daughter, Cosette. Both Valjean and a young student Maris are in love with Cosette, but their lives require bigger miracles, and this is a tiny problem.

But love is their saviour, Valjean’s love for Cosette helps him to find redemption, and Marius’s love for Cosette helps him to find courage.

Les Misérables is a complex story that displays how unequal wealth dictates lives, and the power of love.
