Comedy

The Pope is disturbed by the fact that today's youth are not as spiritually inclined as they should be, and so he decides to set up a Vatican television station and entice them back into the religion of their ancestors. In order to particularly grab the wandering flock, a priest invites the comedians from "The Other Sunday," an actual comedy program on Italian television, to perform on this new channel.

VIBE

A bizarrely earnest attempt to bridge the gap between the Vatican and youth culture through the power of television and broad comedy. Expect a wild, campy ride with a surprisingly satirical edge.
