In collective memory, she is the little shepherdess who died at the stake after saving France. But chronicles from the 15th century report that after Rouen some refused to believe in her death and that another woman would have been burned in her place. Five years after the stake, an astonishing rumor spreads: the Maid is back!

Enigmatic because it is extraordinary, Jeanne's story is revisited by Martin Meissonnier who takes us into a meticulous and fascinating investigation, freed from religious criteria. Drawing on numerous indisputable archival documents, it combines historical rigor with a very playful treatment thanks to reconstructions in period costumes and film extracts."
