Giovanna d'Arco

About the show

In France in 1429, Charles, not yet crowned king, tells his people of a vision directing him to lay down his weapons. Giovanna prays to lead the French forces and hears angels call her to fight. Her father Giacomo believes she has made a pact with the devil. Giovanna leads the French to victory and Charles declares his love, but she resists him. Giacomo denounces her, and the English capture her and condemn her to death. Giacomo recognizes his error and frees her; she returns to battle, where the French win. Giovanna dies after briefly reviving, and is taken to heaven.
