Francisco: The Man Behind The Pope

When a teenager in Buenos Aires quietly discovered his religious calling, little did he know that this was the first step that would eventually lead him to the Vatican in Rome. Young Spanish journalist Ana (Silvia Abascal) meets Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Dario Grandinetti) at the papal conclave of 2005. It is here they start a relationship that would be imbued with the same warmth, good mood and wisdom with which the future Pope will astonish believers. It is through her eyes that we begin to follow the long, hard and touching journey of Pope Francis. Ana was there to see his toughest battles when he gave voice to those who had none; the victims of prostitution, slavery, and drug trafficking within the many shantytowns. Their story comes full circle at the conclave of 2013 when a Jesuit priest coming from South America is elected on the fifth papal ballot as Pope.
