In France during World War II, a poor and illiterate man, Henri Fortin, is introduced to Victor Hugo's classic novel Les Misérables and begins to see parallels between the book and his own life.


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.
