Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a mutated human with the ability to wield great power.

There has never been more perfect casting that Jonathan Pryce playing his real-life doppelganger Pope Francis. Not to mention Anthony Hopkins portraying the now-retired Pope Benedict. In an incredible tale of comedy wrapped up in a scandal, this comedy, based on real-life events, won’t fail to make you chuckle throughout.
In one of the most dramatic religious events of the past 2,000 years, Cardinal Bergoglio requests his retirement from Pope Benedict. Instead of granting Bergoglio’s retirement, Pope Benedict, in the wake of facing scandal and his own self-doubt, summons Bergoglio to the Vatican. As the Pope’s greatest critic and his successor to be his holiness, Bergoglio is entrusted with a secret that could shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. Behind the walls of the Vatican, a struggle between two ideals ensues as tradition battles progress, guilt faces forgiveness as both men confront their pasts in the hope of forging a greater future for the Catholic Church and its billion followers worldwide.
