"When We Dead Awaken" is an experimental fabulation about the Fairies' Tree. This tree is mentioned several times in Joan of Arc's trial. Imagining it multiplied in space and time, this film ritualizes this historical element, reappropriating it and turning it into a symbol of gender dissidents prosecuted by the Inquisition.
