The Pope dies suddenly, and his Dean of the Vatican has the reluctant task of organising the secret conclave to elect a successor, amid several internal crises.
Consistently interesting stylisation of the Papal election process, following a familiar thriller formula of page-turning every twist in the tale, and only partly authentic in its depiction of clerical politics. Lacks a certain amount of reverence or spirituality, which only some of the actors bring to it, whilst other characters are decidedly one-dimensional.
