“Our Father who art in trouble...”

Comedy

A less-than-qualified and far-from-perfect priest is mistakenly named the new pope. As the pontiff, he must deal with Vatican corruption, the Mob and the reappearance of his old lover.

VIBE

A riotous, irreverent romp through the Vatican's hallowed halls. Expect madcap antics, corrupt cardinals, and a priest who's hilariously out of his depth. It's a wild, satirical ride that doesn't take itself too seriously.
