Synopsis

Francesco Bernardone, delirious from his return from war, reflects in his mind on the days when he indulged in parties and carnal pleasures. As he slowly recovers from his illness, he emerges changed, no longer the Francesco everyone once knew. Instead of frequenting taverns, he begins to meditate on the beauty of God's creatures, eventually renouncing his wealth and family. He sets out with the intention to rebuild an abandoned church and to rebuild his life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
