Francesco plot

Biographical film about the life of Francis of Assisi. Francesco is the lazy son of a rich merchant. When Perugia defeats Assisi in a bloody religious war, Francesco witnesses the brutal torture inflicted on the heretics. After a year in captivity, during which he reads the New Testament, he meets Chiara, who impresses him with her generosity towards the poor. He then decides to give away his worldly possessions and to live among the poor and sick.
