La Misérable

*La Misérable* sheds light on the shadow of Victor Hugo—Juliette Drouet—and recounts 50 years of passionate love and mutual dependence.

It is the docility of a rebellious woman who took it upon herself to support the greatest poet of all time so that he could complete his life’s work. Juliette is his heroine, his muse, his passion, his scribe, his source of inspiration—but also his prisoner. Victor locked her away in a maid’s room for 14 years so he could have her all to himself. She will write him thousands of letters during her captivity, all the while remaining his eternal support, devoted body and soul. Two inseparable souls, bound by a secret and obsessive love—for better or for worse!

Julie Depardieu plays the role of Juliette, 140 years later, to tell us her story—one that no one ever wanted to hear—and reveal all their hidden secrets.
