But what about the many cinema lovers who have already seen “Conconico” at least once and, therefore, are looking for a film with Catholic themes that is totally new for them? Did they clarify in mass to Robert Bresson’s masterpiece in 1951 “Diary of A Country Priest?” Not quite. Did Robbie Coltrane’s controversial comedy seek in 1991 “The Pope Must Die” (which Pope Must Diet “for his theatrical release of the United States)? They could not if they wanted to because it is currently not available to transmit anywhere.

Certainly it may be that gentle. The film begins with the entire Catholic world of mourning due to the unexpected death of Pope Pius XVI, which coincides with the theft of an antimatter boat of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

He announces that he will kill each candidate and then destroy Rome detonating the antimatter.
Langdon de Hanks is associated with Dr. Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), the CERN scientist who worked with the antimatter, and it is fun to see them repeatedly falle Mystery develops at a rhythm.
