The Two Popes

In the year 2012, Cardinal Bergoglio, feeling disillusioned by the trajectory of the church, seeks permission from Pope Benedict XVI to retire quietly. However, instead of accepting his resignation, the contemplative and introspective Pope Benedict calls upon Bergoglio, who has been a vocal critic of his leadership, and invites him to Rome for an unexpected conversation. As scandals continue to plague the church and doubts gnaw at its leader, Pope Benedict reveals a deeply guarded secret that threatens to shatter the very foundations of the Catholic Church, entrusting Bergoglio with this heavy burden. This is a story about faith, leadership, and the weight of keeping a monumental truth hidden from the eyes of the world.
