The life of St. Francis of Assisi, a story told by his followers after his death, takes us through his journey from a privileged youth to a beggar for others, inspiring friends to accept the Gospels' life of poverty. He seeks the Pope's blessing, faces persecution from the family of Chiara Offreduccio, and establishes an order that eventually rebels against his expectations. Despite near despair and illness, he writes a Rule for the Pope and receives a divine message, passing away with a smile.
