The Vatican's best kept secret.
Synopsis:
Handsome priest GREGOR (31) is assigned to read a book by Cardinal ALFONS SCHNEIDER (51)—a right-wing figure known as the “Iceberg of the Vatican.” To his surprise, Gregor is captivated—not just by the text, but by the man behind it. A single night together deepens their connection, but by morning, Alfons has vanished back to Rome without a word.
Two years later, Gregor secures a position in the Vatican, hoping to rekindle what they began. But Alfons, now more distant than ever, refuses to acknowledge their bond. When the Pope dies and Alfons is unexpectedly elected as his successor, their love is tested by Vatican politics, activist pressure, and the weight of papal duty.
As Gregor prepares to walk away for good, Alfons must finally choose between his love and his strict beliefs.
