Overview

In 1212, a Children's Crusade is launched after a young shepherd, Jacques de Cloyes, claims to have had a vision in which it is said that the innocence of children would be able to liberate Jerusalem. A monk, returning from Holy Land, joins the crusade and hears the children's confessions, gradually realizing that most of them are taking part not for religious, but for more worldly reasons, like rejected love and hopes for freedom, the true nature of their enthusiasm is homosexual. In fact, if the children follow Jacques, it is more for romantic than religious reasons. They take literally the famous phrase: “Love one another”.

00:09:43 Truth kills hope...

00:13:41 God is listening.

00:16:19 have mercy on you and henceforth live in your heart where Jacques held the place.

00:20:28 My father is old and I should help him.

00:23:04 ...to achieve the greatest works.

00:26:55 I want Jacques Maud. And I get what I want.

00:36:39 She lay naked on his filthy goat-skins. - Stop it!

00:40:36 First I have to talk to the one leading you to Jerusalem...

00:42:44 That was all I knew about him...

00:45:43 My dark love for you is stronger than everything within me.

00:49:10 Was the count there? - No!

00:53:04 You can't undo things done.

00:56:17 Come in.

01:00:24 Father, please spare Jacques confessing.

01:03:11 Yes.

01:05:52 Yes, around dusk.

01:08:13 All are dancing and silly Maud cries for she can't stare at you.

01:10:18 Although I didn't understand all I am able to recite every word.

01:12:44 I can't account for continuing this.
