The Passion of Joan of Arc (La passion de Jeanne d'Arc)
In the cruel trials of the Inquisition, Giovanna d'Arco faced accusations of heresy with the fortitude of a saint. Although a monk believed he was sent by God, soldiers dragged him to a torture chamber. In the midst of despair, the image of the cross gave him comfort. Accused of being the devil's child, Giovanna refuses to renounce her faith—even in the face of a torture wheel that leaves her unconscious. As death approached, he asked to be buried in holy ground, but fate said otherwise: he was burned at the stake, while mourning women witnessed his martyrdom. Who is truly holy, and who is sinful?
