The Sacred Way of Athens, once a path of initiation into the Eleusinian Mysteries, prompts the director to search for spiritual meaning along the busy motorway it has now become. Following the traces of the ancient route, the diverse landscape and brief encounters with its current inhabitants reveal the different faces of the world’s oldest Sacred Way.

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.

Rather than choosing a great leader or king, God chooses Abraham, an elderly shepherd from Mesopotamia, as the way to establish his Covenant with mankind... A man of great faith, Abraham continues to believe in God even when He seems to have abandoned him.
