“It’s rare for a Vatican-set political thriller to be this much of a guilty pleasure.” Filmstarts.de

After the Pope dies under circumstances that remain unclear, one of the cardinals leads the preparations for the election of a successor. Among the cardinals who have traveled from all over the world, ideological rifts emerge during the conclave. In the struggle for power, intrigue and deception run rampant. This incredibly suspenseful thriller skillfully weaves its plot into current debates on church politics. The cinematography, music, and sound design create an atmosphere of persistent unease, masterfully balanced with lighter moments. The multi-layered, superbly portrayed characters are also compelling. A captivating, visually stunning film that deals primarily with the depths of human nature rather than questions of faith or church matters.
