Francesco und der Papst plot
Francesco and the Pope tells the touching story of an 11-year-old boy whose greatest dream may come true: sing once to the Pope.

At first sight, Francesco is a very normal boy. The eleven-year-old lives with his family in Rome, enjoys playing football and is an avid Boy Scout. But his great passion is music. He sings in the boys' choir Pueri Cantores, which accompanies the papal liturgies. He has only one wish: to perform in the Sistine Chapel. What he hardly dares to hope for may become reality...
