This film received its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.  Nanni Moretti, Italy’s best comic director, joins forces with the great French actor Michel Piccoli to tell the story of a cardinal who suddenly finds himself elected as the next Pope. Never the front runner and completely caught off guard, he panics as he's presented to the faithful in St. Peter's Square. To prevent a world-wide crisis, the Vatican's spokesman calls in an unlikely psychiatrist to find out what is wrong with the new Pope. As the world nervously waits, the therapist tries to find a solution. What follows is a marvelous, insightful comedy about one nervous human being elected to be God's representative on Earth.

“A nuanced, moving and profoundly humane exploration of doubt, faith, weakness and resolve.” -Washington Post
