Enter the world of Ana, a young Spanish journalist, sent to the Vatican to cover the 2005 conclave. She then meets Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, bishop of Buenos Aires, little known to the general public and an outsider in the election. Becoming friends, she learns to better understand the life of a humble and atypical man who dedicated his life to the struggles against dictatorship, poverty, drugs and modern slavery. Little by little, she discovers the incredible journey, from her childhood to his election in 2013, of the man we now call Pope Francis. Full price: €9 Reduced price: €7.50. Reservations here.
