🚦 Rating: 7+
We meet Francis when he is still secular in his heart, partying with his friends and striving for worldly glory. His parents are proud of him, but his Father is focused on worldly success. He flirts with a woman at a party. The emptiness of worldly success is shown to be empty.
Francis and his friends show disgust at lepers when they approach them. He declares his desire to go to war and there is a brief war scene. There are sounds of battle and shouting in battle. Francis is sick and imprisoned, coughing in a jail. Sounds of water dripping in jail cells and sickness.
