Francesco

In a time when stories were shared through word of mouth, a group of followers gathers to remember the extraordinary life of St. Francis of Assisi, as recorded by a scribe named Leone. As they share tales of the saint's journey from his privileged upbringing as a young nobleman in 12th century Italy, to his time as a prisoner of war, an heir turning away from material possessions to embrace a life of poverty, and eventually, as an inspiring figure for friends who followed his path. Through these stories, we witness Francis's transformation into one of Christianity's most iconic saints - a man who not only preached to the poor but also lived among them, embodying the Gospels' teachings in every aspect of his life. This poignant film serves as an intimate portrayal of St. Francis of Assisi's life and impact on those who knew him, capturing the essence of a man whose legacy continues to resonate centuries later.
