The Passion of Joan of Arc - Epic Summer
Facing trial for her beliefs, Joan of Arc refuses to abandon her convictions despite overwhelming pressure.
The young Joan of Arc stands trial for heresy and is subjected to a series of intense interrogations by church authorities. As her judges attempt to force a confession, she remains steadfast in her faith and convictions. The film follows her final days and the inner struggle that accompanies them.
De jonge Jeanne d'Arc staat terecht wegens ketterij en wordt onderworpen aan een reeks intensieve verhoren door kerkelijke autoriteiten. Terwijl haar ondervragers proberen haar tot een bekentenis te dwingen, blijft zij vasthouden aan haar geloof en overtuigingen. De film volgt haar laatste dagen en de innerlijke strijd die daarmee gepaard gaat.
