Rouen in 1431: The nineteen-year-old Jeanne dArc stands before an ecclesiastical court. In her cell and before the judges, she is repeatedly asked about her beliefs, her voices and her behavior as a soldier. The clergy try to involve them in contradictions and force them to recant, while Jeanne adheres to the truth of her experience. Based on the historical trial records, Bresson focuses entirely on the interrogation, imprisonment and institutional power that ultimately leads Jeanne to the stake.
