Jean Valjean es enviado a prisión tras robar un trozo de pan con el que pretendía alimentar a sus sobrinos y a su hermana viuda. Adaptación del musical del mismo título que, a su vez, se basa en la obra de Victor Hugo "Los miserables"..
A made for TV movie of the Charles Dickens' classic novel, turns Dickens' picaresque tale into an extended flashback, with David Copperfield Robin Phillips as a young man, brooding on a deserted beach, recalling his youth. The characters are all trotted out in choppy flashbacks as David remembers his life as a young orphan, brought to London and passed around from relatives, to guardians, to boarding school.
