Following the death of the Pope, the Conclave meets to elect his successor. A cardinal is chosen who seems unable to bear the weight of such a responsibility. Is it anxiety? Is it depression? Does he feel inadequate? The world is on tenterhooks as the faithful and the Church are kept in suspense.
Can Palme d’Or-winner Nanni Moretti see the future? As if predicting Pope Benedict XVI’s surprise resignation, with customary wit and warmth the Italian auteur directed this droll, sensitive comedy about an individual (the legendary actor Michel Piccoli) and an institution thrown into confusion.
