Peppino (Vittorio Manunta), the endearing young hero of this beautiful fable, although he is a priest's friend, is not understood by the almighty clergy: his donkey is ill, and he does believe that Saint Francis of Assisi (Peppino lives in Assisi) can cure his pet. After all, he did heal his pal's kitten; but to get a donkey into a crypt comes against a refusal. Nevertheless, the boy never takes no for an answer and he will walk all the way to Rome to see the Holy Father.
