Story
In this surreal and disturbing short film directed by Bertrand Mandico, we find Joan of Arc after her eyes have been burned out and she has been deflowered by an English stallion. Condemned to wander the battlefield like a scavenger, Joan's sole purpose is now to search for virgins among the fallen soldiers.

The film is notable for its surrealistic imagery and disturbing content, which serve to question and subvert traditional historical narratives.
