Les Misérables – Die Geschichte von Jean Valjean

Emma Harwood (Zendaya) and Charlie Thompson (Robert Pattinson) are a couple who’ve found each other. He’s from London and makes his living as a museum director. She’s a bookseller from the American South. Not only are they in love, but they’re now happily engaged. There are only a handful of days left until the big wedding. But suddenly, a proverbial spanner gets thrown in the works, and the entire celebration threatens to fall apart. Because Emma and Charlie must face... The year is 1815: After nineteen years of hard labor, violence, and suffering for the theft of a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean is released from prison. Filled with rage and a deep sense of injustice, he has become a dangerous man who trusts no one. He wanders desperately through the south of France, seeking shelter in a small village, but is repeatedly turned away. Unbeknownst to him, Jean Valjean finds refuge and hospitality in the home of Bishop Bienvenu, who leads a simple life with his sister and his maid. Jean Valjean is surprised by the bishop’s warm welcome, and his inner demons gradually begin to fade. Yet the villagers’ feelings of vengeance and prejudice continue to haunt him. Will he still be able to transform himself into a different person? Jean Valjean stands at a crossroads in his life.
