We Have a Pope

• Drama
• Comedy

A sharply observed comedy-drama unfolds within the gilded walls of the Vatican as a newly elected Pope is instantly paralyzed by crippling self-doubt and anxiety, moments before his inaugural address. Rather than theological crisis, the film explores a profoundly human panic attack, forcing the Church to discreetly summon a skeptical, secular psychiatrist to intervene. This isn’t a story *about* faith, but about the isolating weight of expectation and the terrifying freedom of ultimate responsibility, rendered with a delicately balanced tone that blends the sacred and the absurd. The narrative gently dissects power dynamics and institutional rigidity through the Pope’s internal struggle, revealing a man unexpectedly vulnerable and utterly unprepared for a role he never sought, creating a surprisingly relatable portrait of identity crisis and the search for inner conviction.
