Grégory Gadebois and Éric Besnard (Delicious) reunite for JEAN VALJEAN, a new adaptation of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables, charting the origin story of protagonist Jean Valjean.

1815. Provence, France. In the peaceful village of Digne, there’s a rumour that a dangerous man has entered the area, as the hulking Jean (Gadebois) has just been released from prison after nineteen years of hard labour. Issued with identification that forever sees him branded a criminal and ostracised, Jean is not surprised to be repeatedly turned away as he seeks refuge for the night. Desperate, he unknowingly knocks at the door of the house of Monseigneur Bienvenu (Bernard Campan), who lives simply with his sister (Isabelle Carré) and a lone servant (Alexandra Lamy). Against all odds, Bienvenu invites him in. On this crucial night, Jean will face a choice that will define his future.
