In autumn of 1526, the Emperor, Charles V, sends his German landsknechts led by Georg von Frundsberg to march towards Rome. The inferior papal armies, commanded by Giovanni de'Medici, try to chase them in the midst of a harsh winter. Nevertheless, the Imperial armies manage to cross the rivers along their march and get cannons thanks to the maneuvers of its Lords. In a skirmish, Giovanni de'Medici is wounded in the leg by a falconet shot. The attempts to cure him fail and he dies. The Imperial armies assault Rome. The film is beautifully but unassumingly set, and shows the hard conditions in which war is waged and its lack of glory. It ends straightforwardly with the declaration made after the death of Giovanni de'Medici by the commanders of the armies in Europe of not using again fire weapons because of their cruelty.

Uma escuridão envolvente. De repente, a voz de uma criança, assustada, perguntando, projeta-se na escuridão...Raios enfraquecidos de luz começam a esculpir formas misteriosas no meio da escuridão... Entre eles, um ancião. Ele conforta a criança, exortando-a a ver as maravilhas da terra. E é com os olhos desta criança que testemunhamos a criação do Mundo.A natureza se faz viva com o primeiro raio de luz do amanhecer, recriando os sete dias da Criação. Seguindo cada passo de seus primeiros personagens Adão e Eva e seus filhos Caim e Abel, que causaram a ira de Deus levando-o a começar tudo outra vez. O sol novamente nasce. Uma pomba carrega um galho de oliveira. Noé traz em sua arca a esperança de uma nova vida, sinal de aliança com Deus.
