Can life still turn around for Jean Valjean? Due to life’s unfairness and difficulties, Valjean has resorted to a life of crime. Having been forced to be in this survival mode, he has done things that he regrets. But he decided to change his life and assume a new identity. His hard work eventually led to incredible success as an industrialist. He is now known as Monsieur Madeleine. Valjean unjustly fires a factory worker named Fantine, who was set up by her coworkers and the factory manager. Down with luck and having to live life as a prostitute, she leaves her daughter Cosette with deceitful innkeepers who turn the young girl into a servant. When Cosette is arrested by police inspector Javert, Monsieur Madeleine happens to pass by and pities Fantine. He orders the inspector to set her free. Fantine then begs Valjean to find her daughter Cosette. Meanwhile, Javert is also on the lookout for the criminal Jean Valjean, the man now known as Monsieur Madeleine, who also happened to order him to let Fantine free.
