Plot
Italy, 1209, surrounded by convinced and devoted friends, Francis of Assisi seeks purity and innocence among the poor. The Church and Pope Innocent III don’t trust him and become very suspicious. The intrusion of the high authority will create divisions within the order. Francis is summoned by the Church to rewrite the founding text of their brotherhood which will become the Order of the Minor Friars. As Francis becomes blind and moves away from his family, Elie de Cortone, his long-time friend, amends some passages of Francis’ text to satisfy Cardinal Hugolin and Pope Innocent III.

Trama
Inverno 1209. Nei boschi dell’Umbria Francesco condivide con Elia Da Cortona ed i suoi fratelli un’esperienza radicale. L’ordine francescano non è ancora riconosciuto dal Papa, e Francesco non è ancora il Santo cui oggi milioni di credenti in tutto il mondo rivolgono le proprie preghiere ma è già seguito da molti credenti. Elia Da Cortona, amico di Francesco da una vita e suo compagno di viaggio, vuole convincerlo ad addolcire la regola di vita affinché venga finalmente riconosciuta dal Papa e possa essere seguita dai fedeli anche dopo la morte di Francesco.

Plan du Film
En 1209, en Italie, entouré d’amis et de disciples convaincus et dévoués, François d’Assise recherche la pureté et l’innocence auprès des plus démunis. Il s’attire ainsi la méfiance de l’Eglise et du pape Innocent III. Cette intrusion de la haute autorité va créer des divisions au sein de l’ordre. François est sommé par l’Eglise de réécrire le texte fondateur de leur fraternité qui deviendra l’Ordre des frères mineurs. Alors que François devient aveugle et s’éloigne des siens, Elie de Cortone, son ami de longue date, corrige certains passages du texte de François pour satisfaire le cardinal Hugolin et le pape Innocent III.
