Konklave

The Pope has died unexpectedly. Cardinal Lawrence is entrusted with the difficult task of presiding over the election of the new pope. Powerful cardinals from all over the world travel to Rome for the conclave. As the doors to the Sistine Chapel close, a game of power ensues. One of the frontrunners is the arch-conservative Tedesco, who wants to reverse the progress of the Church over the last 60 years. Bellini represents the liberal camp, but his chances are worse. And then there is a newcomer. A cardinal who was appointed by the Pope in secret. To protect him, because he served God in Kabul. Cardinal Lawrence finds himself at the center of intrigue and corruption and uncovers a secret that could shake the very foundations of his faith. All this while millions of people wait for white smoke to rise from the chimney of the chapel.
