As Benedict XVI, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was only the second pope in the church’s long history to resign from his position as God’s representative on earth. This film tells the story of a man who started out as a reformer, only to be defeated by modernity.

We present the world premiere of the film at DOK.fest München 2019.
