Picture it: Assisi, Italy. The year is 1211. Clare has everything — beauty, status, a swoon-worthy rich fiancé,
and gifts that scream medieval luxury. Total dream life, right?

So why can’t she stop thinking about Francis — the town eccentric who ditched his wealth, his wardrobe,
and basically his entire vibe because he thinks helping the poor actually matters?
Everyone else says he’s lost it. Clare… isn’t so sure.

As her perfectly curated world starts to feel a little less perfect, Clare finds herself questioning what success, goodness, and happiness really mean.
This hilarious, delightfully anachronistic retelling of the true story of St. Clare asks: what does it really cost to do good —
and why, nearly a thousand years later, are the rich and the rest still living in completely different realities?
