A father and son become vagabonds and are accompanied by an intellectual talking crow. They set out on a picaresque journey to emulate St. Francis of Assisi’s mission to the birds. Following his The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Pasolini presents a tragicomic fable which shows two delightful innocents caught, like many Italians, between the Church and Marxism.
