- It's time to discover, beyond the old naive clichés that the life of Joan of Arc has perpetuated through the centuries and the world, a strong, laughing girl, a courageous peasant, and a great and resilient fighter.
- A few years prior to this film, Edvard Munch's film camera, display and four rolls of film have been found and delivered to the Munch Museum in Oslo. This finding, along with Munch's photographic self-portraits, written notes and texts, has made the "Narrator" (played by Frank Robert) to embark on a trip to European places where Munch stayed, and see the same things like Munch saw. Gradually, the "Narrator" will be able to see for himself.
- Frans Hals (1582-1666) was a portrait painter with a unique style, admired for its originality and vivacity not only by the Impressionists but also by artists like van Gogh or Picasso. Very little documentation of his life exists today, so this film uses the thorough contemplation of his canvases as the key to his story. Works by the landscape artists and still-life painters of his time help to illustrate the age in which he lived. The film furthermore exemplifies the elaborate conventions of portraiture at the time.
- Three short plays by Gertrude Stein, filmed on stage with numerous special effects. Almost no plot, these resemble Sesame Street for grownups. 1. In the Garden: A girl fantasizes about being a queen. 2. Three Sisters who are not Sisters: A spoof of the Hitchcock/Christie style of whodunnit. 3. Look and Long: The dark side of Humpty-Dumpty.
