Description
*La Misérable* sheds light on the shadow of Victor Hugo—Juliette Drouet—and tells the story of 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 locks her away in a maid’s room for 14 years so she would be his alone. During her captivity, she writes him thousands of letters, 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 has decided to portray the character of Juliette, 140 years later, to tell us her story—one that no one ever wanted to hear—and reveal all their bedroom secrets.
