This is the biography of St. Francis of Assisi (Graham Faulkner) who rejected material wealth after his spiritual revelation. Francis returns to his home following the war and finds that disease and war have ruined his neighborhood. Francis is also ill, but he recovers and his life has changed. Instead of drinking in bars, Francis spends his time meditating about the beauty of life. This culminates in Francis renouncing his former life and dedicating himself to the simple life as a man of God. 1 User Review
