Overview
The story of a donkey Balthazar as he is passed from owner to owner, some kind and some cruel but all with motivations beyond his understanding. Balthazar, whose life parallels that of his first keeper, Marie, is truly a beast of burden, suffering the sins of humankind. But despite his powerlessness, he accepts his fate nobly.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A spare, patient meditation on suffering and resignation told through the eyes of a donkey passed between cruel and kind hands alike. Bresson's austere style transforms animal endurance into something approaching transcendence.
