Synopsis

Following the death of the Pope, the Conclave meets to elect his successor. On Saint Peter's Square, followers wait in vain for the newly elected Pope to appear on the balcony. But the chosen Cardinal seems unable to bear the weight of such responsibility. Is it anxiety? Does he feel inadequate? The world is on tenterhooks while the Vatican seeks ways to overcome the crisis.
