ANNETTE, A HEROINE EPOS tells the story of Annette Beaumanoir, a French neurologist who, as a young woman, was part of the Resistance against the Nazis and later supported the National Liberation Front in the Algerian War of Independence. The former earned her a lot of honor in France, for the latter she was sentenced to ten years in prison - which raises the question of who has the authority to interpret "heroism".
