In the heart of the 15th century, the young peasant girl Jeanne, with unwavering faith, feels the divine call that drives her to free France from English oppression. As her story unfolds, we see her fervently march to the court, where she convinces the Dauphin, Charles, that it is his destiny to become king with her help. With her shining armor and sword raised, she leads epic battles, inspiring her soldiers and leaving an indelible mark on all those around her.
However, her brilliance on the battlefield and her religious fervor soon make her a target of persecution. After being captured in an ambush, Jeanne is brought to trial in a religious court that is more interested in condemning her than in seeking the truth. The film immerses us in her agonizing defense, where moments of despair and dignity intertwine. As tensions rise, the ecclesiastical authorities, manipulated by political interests, orchestrate an elaborate trial in which every testimony and every image reveals the cruel fragility of truth.
The story culminates in an intense emotional climax that explores the struggle between faith and the powers that seek to silence it. Throughout this harrowing journey, we witness the extraordinary strength of an indomitable spirit that defies the logic of a dark and ruthless world.
