A conclave is the ceremonial gathering of cardinals at the Vatican to elect a new Pope after the incumbent's passing. Secluded in Casa Santa Marta, they engage in secretive voting.

Directed by Edward Berger, 'Conclave' has gained fame, coinciding with global curiosity about Vatican politics.

The movie realistically depicts the conclave setting, showing cardinals at Casa Santa Marta and voting in the Sistine Chapel.

While many aspects of 'Conclave' are accurate, it introduces fictional elements, like the election of a woman as Pope, which contradicts Church doctrine. This has raised eyebrows and sparked conversations among viewers and critics alike.

The film has reshaped public understanding of the conclave process, providing insights into its secrecy. It ignites discussions on Church traditions, as many become curious about how these dynamics unfold in reality.

Critics assert that 'Conclave' skews the Church's image, focusing too much on politics over spirituality.

As the real conclave approaches, heightened expectations for drama and intrigue persist. Given the film's impact, the world will closely watch the actual selection of a new Pope, blending intrigue and reality.
