Giacinto Prandelli

Joan of Arc is being burned alive for heresy. In a kind of dream state, she departs from her body and begins to look back upon her life. She begins this journey in a depressed and demoralized state. However, a priest appears to help guide her. First, he shows her those that accused her in the guise of animal characters, in order to show her their true nature. Then, he shows her the good that she has performed for people. In the end, she is proud of what she has done and is ready to face the flames.

An Italian adaptation of the Richard Wagner opera Lohengrin, where a woman prays for a saviour, and receives it in the form of the title character, a man who will marry her and stay by her if she never asks him his name.
