Simple story of an Italian boy and his donkey in the town of Assisi. When the donkey comes down sick, the boy appeals to the local church authority to let him visit the tomb of the famous Saint Francis to be healed. Refusing to take no for an answer, he goes all the way to the top to see the pope in Rome. Despite some warm moments, and a particularly effective final shot, it can't quite escape a tendency towards cuteness.
