“In a time of chaos, in a world of change, he was moved by a book he could not read to become a hero he never imagined.”
In France during World War II, a poor and illiterate man, Henri Fortin (Jean-Paul Belmondo), is introduced to Victor Hugo's classic novel Les Misérables and begins to see parallels between the book and his own life.
A sweeping, character-driven epic that grapples with profound social issues. It feels both grand and intimate, offering a gritty yet ultimately hopeful look at the human spirit's resilience against overwhelming odds.
