Drink

2020 - 2022

Jeanne la Folle, Joanna the Mad, Juana la Loca, Johanna die Wahnsinnige : anyone can give a name to Jeanne Ist of Castile, duchesse de Bourgogne. And take over the insane destiny of her novel character, whose everlasting love leads her to madness. But was she really foolish or is she rather the embodiment of man folly ?
