◎Introduction
Vatican City, stubborn and indifferent Pope Benedict XVI has reached the threshold of the transition of power.
In the face of scandal, Benedict XVI at this time is deeply mired in self-doubt, and he is good at introspection and is in urgent need of redemption.
And his successor, a cardinal from outside Europe, Bergeglio, is also disappointed with the direction of the church.
He gave the Pope his harshest criticism and even took the initiative to apply to the Pope for retirement in 2012, for which the Pope summoned him to Rome for an interview.
Benedict XVI has always been known for his conservatism, but Bergoglio has demanded to keep pace with the times, and the two popes who are about to alternate between the old and the new have a profound soul collision...
"Film and Television 21st Century" Review:
A documentary-style religious film, centered on the 2013 papal replacement of the Vatican, through a large number of dialogues between the old and new popes, shows the story of the mutual redemption of two spiritual leaders, each persuading the other to let go of their baggage and moving towards substantial change in a seemingly compromised form. The film focuses on the question: Should religion preserve its traditions, or should it compromise with the times? Change is for more people, and unchanged is for the betterment of a few. One represents breadth, one symbolizes depth, and when depth cannot go on, it is only necessary to spread the breadth to open up a new situation.
