Sicilia, 1221. Il francescano Antonio, naufragato sull'isola con il confratello Giulietto, racconta al vescovo del luogo la sua storia. Fernando, così si chiamava Antonio prima di vestire il saio, era un nobile portoghese destinato a diventare cavaliere. Un grave episodio lo costrinse ad abbandonare la vita secolare e a ritirarsi in convento. Dopo essere stato in Africa e aver girato l'Europa con il fidato Giulietto, un frate minore venuto dall'Italia, Antonio raggiunge Padova. Il frate trova una città in mano a usurai che, toccati nel vivo dalle sue parole, tentano di ucciderlo servendogli una minestra avvelenata. Ma accade un miracolo...

The Miracle of Saint Anthony / 2012

In the middle of June the village of Santo Antonio de Mixoes da Serra in the Valdreu region of Northern Portugal honours its Patron Saint with a very special festival. On this day the local farmers bring their animals to the church – cows, horses, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits – to be blessed. This ancient tradition is passed from generation to generation, and today, just as hundreds of years ago, animals and people flock up the mountain roads to the church square to become a part of the religious festival. The film is about this miracle.
