The Two Popes

“Inspired by true events.”

Pope Benedict XVI (Anthony Hopkins) has decided to step down, and he wants Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce) to reconsider his own resignation before that happens. The two men meet in the Vatican to talk through their doubts, their histories, and the weight of the choices ahead. Meirelles frames their conversation as a reckoning, each man carrying the burden of decisions that will reshape the Church and their own lives.
