Francesco Page #4

Synopsis: The life of St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) as related by followers who gather after his death to tell stories so that Leone can record them: a privileged and virile youth, a prisoner of war, an heir who turns away from his father and gives all to the poor, a beggar for others, and an inspiration to friends who accept the Gospels' life of poverty. He seeks the Pope's blessing, and he endures persecution at the hands of the family of Chiara Offreduccio (1194-1253), who becomes St. Clare. Many join the order he has established and then rebel at his expectations. In near despair - and ill - he writes a Rule to take to the Pope; then, the Lord sends him a message. He dies smiling.

I equipped him with armor and horses

for a venture that never came off!

But I was ready to put

my faith in him.

Everyone will confirm that!

What are you doing Francesco?

Francesco!

These are yours...

I have another father.

What are you doing?

I was waiting for you.

I'm coming with you.

Where?

- Wherever... I mean it.

Go home, go home.

We'll meet again.

Sir, I wish you peace

and well-being for you and yours.

Sir, I wish you peace and

well-being for you and yours.

Get out of here! Get out!

It was for the dogs, but if you want it...

Thank you. Peace be with you.

Go away! That's Tano's place!

We don't want outsiders!

You're stealing our bread. Go away!

Don't touch, this stuff is mine!

And you go away! I said no!

Soon you'll have

a roof over your head.

Youre ill, you must cover yourself up

and take a rest. Do you realize that?

I won't go home till you've started

to take care of yourself.

She must have made ten miles of bandages.

Have you emptied your dowry chest?

Come.

- What is it?

My little brother's dead!

I had no more milk...

Come away! Come away!

I ran away too the first time. And I

would have gladly done without my nose.

I'll kill myself!

I'll kill myself!

Let me go!

Out! Out!

Here comes the bread at last!

Be off with you!

- No, wait!

Hey look, that lunatic Francesco!

You started to come in,

then you ran off. I saw you!

Sit down, eat with us.

- I was ashamed... but not anymore.

Let's show him a good time!

You're kind, just a little something

- Ah, it's for you

Oh stop it!

Take a bath and come to the table!

I have an important engagement

- Who with?

With my mother, my sisters

and three children.

Stay with us.

- Don't go away!

Francesco, wait...

Where are you going Rufino?

Make yourself at home!

Thanks... I must go.

This is my friend Rufino.

My mother can't walk,

her legs are sick.

My sister has lost a child.

Forgive us if we are silent.

I was in a panic, like never before,

not even during the war,

so I run away as fast as I could.

I wanted to forget and I couldn't. I kept

telling myself, Francesco is crazy.

Peace to you... peace to you... peace.

Mister, alms!

- Mister

Hey look who's there!

- Francesco?

He's Francesco!

- How are you?

Come here, are you all right?

What's wrong? You're not well?

- Hey Francesco, don't you recognize us?

Are you hungry?

- Take a little of this.

He's hungry!

- Do you want some?

Come on eat it!

Come on take it!

Do you want some more?

- Let's give him something to eat!

What wrong? Don't you recognize us?

- Do you want some more? Do you?

That's it, now he will be warmer.

But don't you see? It's a delicacy!
