A reverent biographical meditation on St. Francis's spiritual transformation from worldly youth to ascetic saint, told through the testimonies of his followers.

The life of St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) as related by followers who gather after his death to tell stories so that Leone can record them: a privileged and virile youth, a prisoner of war, an heir who turns away from his father and gives all to the poor, a beggar for others, and an inspiration to friends who accept the Gospels' life of poverty.
