The film tells the story of St. Francis and his early followers through a series of unconnected vignettes, starting with their return from Rome to Rivotorlo and ending with their dispersal to preach. The chapters are like parables, some with a moral, and feature characters such as Ginepro, Giovanni, and St. Clair, who embody the whimsy and belief of the brotherhood.
The Flowers of St. Francis
A charming comedy about the daily misadventures of a group of Franciscan monks, with a focus on their well-meaning but hapless leader, Ginepro.
