"A psychiatrist is called to counsel a cardinal not too keen on being the pope who has a nervous breakdown just after he is elected.

The satirical part of the film works much better than the melodramatic one, while the biggest fault lies in the fact that the two do not blend too well together.

Despite this, the quirky and satirical original idea is interesting enough to save the film from being one of Moretti’s most underwhelming efforts."

Comedy, Italy/France
