Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict. Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Two old men grapple with doubt, duty, and the weight of their convictions in quiet, character-driven conversations that gradually expose the humanity beneath the vestments. It's a meditation on faith and legacy told through dialogue and silences rather than spectacle.
