Čo majú spoločné Victor Hugo a Cameron Mackintosh? Obrovský úspech jedného príbehu o nezlomnej sile človeka... "Les Misérables" alias "Les Miserables". Titul, ktorý si dnes väčšina z nás spája s veľmi úspešným muzikálom, ktorý sa pred desiatimi rokmi dočkal rovnako úspešného filmového spracovania. V dnešnom dokumente sa pozrieme na históriu príbehu, ktorý fascinuje ľudí od jeho prvého vydania v roku 1862, a spolu s tvorcami muzikálu aj filmu sa zamyslíme nad dôvodmi, prečo jeho popularita stále neutícha.

Každý, kto čítal román alebo videl aspoň jednu z jeho mnohých filmových adaptácií, to dobre vie. Všetci, ktorí sa zúčastnili na muzikáli, sú však očarení aj Bludičkami...
