John, known as Francis, a young bourgeois from a medieval town, and the noble Clare dream like all their peers: feats of arms, knights, Templars, crusades, music, and the fascinating tales of Provence.

Then comes a radical choice: poverty, among those lepers who say: “Simo in tribolazione k'a nata per fame et padronanza et perrokké omnia Sancti. He (Francis) wanted to be free. Isso pote esse Sancto, noe ebbimo condanna perpetua a Santità.”

We will travel through and visit the places where Francis, Claire, and the young people of their time changed history, transforming a chivalrous dream into a deeper and more revolutionary ideal.

A journey through history, myth, and spirituality.
