"The Vatican and political thrillers rarely provide such a thieving pleasure." Filmstarts.de

After the Pope dies under circumstances that are not entirely clear, one of the cardinals leads the preparations for the election of a successor. At the conclave, ideological rifts open up among the cardinals who have traveled from all over the world. In the battle for power, there is intrigue and deceit. This enormously exciting thriller cleverly links its plot with current debates on church politics. The camera, music and soundtrack create an atmosphere of persistent anxiety, which is masterfully balanced with lighter moments. The multi-layered, excellently acted characters are also convincing. A captivating, visually stunning film that primarily deals with human abysses rather than questions of faith or the church.
