DramaComedy

Caustic satire on bureaucracy of the Vatican authority and a simple Italian who wants to achieve the audience with the Pope.

VIBE

A biting, darkly funny look at the absurdities of institutional power. It feels like a cynical, slow-burn jab at the Vatican's inner workings, leaving you with a sense of bewildered amusement.
