THE STORY BEHIND THE SCREENPLAY OFTHE TWO POPES, THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING ANTHONY HOPKINS AND JONATHAN PRYCE From the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter ofThe Theory of Everything andDarkest Hour comes the fascinating and revealing tale of an unprecedented transfer of power, and of two very different men - who both happen to live in the Vatican. In February 2013, the arch-conservative Pope Benedict XVI made a startling announcement: he would resign, making him the first pope to willingly vacate his office in over 700 years. Reeling from the news, the College of Cardinals rushed to Rome to congregate in the Sistine Chapel to pick his successor. Their unlikely choice? Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,200 years, a one time tango club bouncer, a passionate soccer fan, a man with the common touch. Why did Benedict walk away at the height of power, knowing his successor might be someone whose views might undo his legacy? How did Francis - who used to ride the bus to work back in his native Buenos Aires - adjust to life as leader to a billion followers? If, as the Church teaches, the pope is infallible, how can two living popes who disagree on almost everything both be right? Having immersed himself in these men's lives to write the screenplay forThe Two Popes,Anthony McCarten masterfully weaves their stories into one gripping narrative. From Benedict and Francis's formative experiences in war-torn Germany and Argentina to the sexual abuse scandal that continues to rock the Church to its foundations, to the intrigue and the occasional comedy of life in the Vatican,The Pope glitters with the darker and the lighter details of one of the world's most opaque but significant institutions.

A las pocas semanas, las majestuosas puertas de la Capilla Sixtina del Vaticano se cerraron, y los cardenales comenzaron un nuevo cónclave, el segundo me menos de una década, y en el que tendrían que elegir al nuevo líder espiritual de una iglesia con más de 1200 millones de seguidores en todo el mundo. Cuando las puertas se abrieron de nuevo, unos días mas tarde, el carismático Jorge Bergoglio, bajo el nombre de Francisco, resulto elegido papa.
¿Por qué Benedicto, el papa más conservador de la era moderna, hizo un acto tan poco tradicional e inimaginable?
