Synopsis

1456. Twenty-five years after Joan of Arc's death at the stake, a rehabilitation trial is opened. Like a true detective, Inquisitor Jean Bréhal, head of justice for the Church of France, will piece together the puzzle of Joan's short life, seeking out the testimonies of her childhood friends, her comrades-in-arms and her judges. A breathless investigation, from Domrémy to Rouen, via Orléans and Reims, between religious intrigue and political manipulation: "L'affaire Jeanne d'Arc", both medieval cold case and animated film, unravels the threads of a tragic epic, and draws, behind the myth, the portrait of a young woman with an incredible destiny.
