Les Miserables
“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 WWII France, poor and illiterate Henri Fortin is introduced to Victor Hugo's classic novel Les Misérables and begins to see parallels between the book and his own life.
