HABEMUS PAPAM
Following the death of the Pope, the Conclave meets to elect his successor. A cardinal is chosen who seems unable to bear the weight of such a responsibility. Is it anxiety? Is it depression? Does he feel inadequate? The faithful are waiting for the new Pope to appear on the balcony in St. Peter’s Square. The world is on tenterhooks, while in the Vatican they seek ways to come through the crisis.
The Pope escapes from the Vatican and strolls around the city where he finds himself in situations which he had not experienced for a long time. Meanwhile, the psycho analyst remains a prisoner inside the Vatican where, after initially feeling disoriented, he ends up appearing almost at ease. (...) In my movies I have made fun of the Left, of my generation (when I was twenty, and then thirty, and then forty…), I have made fun of the relations between parents and children, of my social milieu, of school, of the movie world, in Caro Diario I even made fun of a cancer I had twenty years ago. Therefore, I think it is only fair to make fun of psychoanalysis, too. (Nanni Moretti)
