When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with presiding over one of the world’s most secret and ancient events – the election of a new Pope – he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. Cardinal Lawrence and most of the other priests during the conclave in the film conform to the Catholic faith and centuries of tradition. The Vatican announces that the seat of the Holy See (the governing body of the Catholic Church) has become vacant.
The College of Cardinals isolates itself in apartments (Domus Sanctae Marthae or House of Saint Martha) where they eat and sleep between votes. The windows and doors of the Sistine Chapel, where real elections are held and ballots cast, are darkened, shuttered and locked to preserve the secrecy of the conclave. The Roman Catholic Church had three African popes: Victor the First (189-199 AD), Miltiades (also known as Melchiades, 311-314 AD) and Gelasius the First (Sister Agnes: Although we, sisters, are invisible must be, God nevertheless gave us eyes and ears “The Truth of Saad: My Opinion on “The Conclave” – Enlightenment everything destroys” movie (2024).

This is probably the best movie I’ve seen this year, and I’ve seen quite a few. It’s a serious movie, perhaps the only serious movie I saw this year, and it can also be considered an adult movie, since many details of this movie will not be understandable for the young audience said and it was the most attended day time I’ve been in.
The film has gorgeous colors, details, sets, screenplay and action, with a few plot twists thrown in for good measure. I don’t think it’s a mystery because I figured out the plot in advance, but it’s presented very well. Overall a great movie and I’m thinking of watching it again.
