Is Joan of Arc a heroine or a witch, a soldier’s whore or a virgin? She has no doubt. She's on a mission from God and with her strong faith, she convinces all on her path. But can her pure and strong belief win over the court snakes and church dogma? In Anouilh’s lawsuit drama from 1952 some of the most important events in Joan of Arc's life are relived. From when she first meets the archangel Michael, who asks her to save France, to the point when she, dressed as a warrior, is riding on the battlefield along with a bunch of bloodthirsty soldiers to regain the throne from the British. Jeanne d'Arc rises like a little fight to her opponents, whether it be her father or the Spanish Inquisition.
