Франциск (1989)

In 12th century Italy, a scribe named Leone recounts the remarkable life of St. Francis of Assisi to a group of listeners. They share stories of the saint's journey: from his privileged life as a nobleman, through his time as a prisoner, and his decision to reject wealth for a life of poverty. The tales follow Francis's transformation into a powerful figure who inspired others to follow his example. Through these accounts, we see how Francis became one of Christianity’s most beloved saints – a man who preached to and lived among the poor, embodying the teachings of the Gospels. This film offers a personal look at St. Francis's life and the impact he had on those around him, revealing the enduring power of his legacy.
