“The story of a lusty, fighting young adventurer who exchanged his sword for a cross”
In 13th century Italy, Francis Bernardone, the son of an Assisi merchant, renounces a promising army career in favor of a monastic life and starts his own religious order, sanctioned by the Pope.
A deeply spiritual journey through faith and renunciation. This film feels like a quiet, earnest contemplation of a life dedicated to devotion, set against the backdrop of a historical era. It's a meditative and austere experience.
