With a panoramic view of the city with the countryside in the background, the documentary approaches the urban area by framing the basilica, while the path of a monk with the torch seems to drive the camera up to the crypt of St. Francis. An erzähler tells the story of the saint, of St. Clare and of the orders founded by them. The images then create a sort of stroll in den front-of-the art of Giotto and Cimabue. A procession of monks with the candles are the only human elements that stand out in the representation of the city and its architecture.
