The narrative begins with the introduction of Jean-Christophe Krafft, a child born into a troubled family, set against a backdrop of emotional struggles, societal expectations, and the importance of artistic expression.

The opening of "Jean-Christophe I" introduces us to a stormy, rainy day, establishing a somber atmosphere. Within a dimly lit room, we find Jean-Christophe's family: his distressed mother Louisa, his gruff grandfather Jean-Michel, and the newly born child. Their interactions reveal fractures within their family dynamic, marked by frustrations over Louisa's husband, Melchior’s absences and alcoholism. The visceral, emotional turmoil experienced by the characters sets the stage for a deeper exploration of struggle and identity.
