Monks - or brothers, as they prefer to be called - in gray and brown boat with simple rope around the waist follows them around and tells the story of the city's famous saint, the young rich man's son Francesco, who was called by God.
They hear how he is for more than 800 years ago lived right here in town in the lap of luxury, and how he became ill and began to mull over the emptiness of his own life and the ultimate meaning.

A popular teacher in the Danish school where he went, to tell them that they really hit home. Erwin was even good at reproducing the old stories, and at the age of 12 he decided to become a priest.
Theology study may Erwin, however, shoot a white stick for. He failed the entrance examination at Duborg School, zunchadora the Danish high school in Flensburg, and was never a student.
