The Pope Is Not a Jeansboy

Der Papst ist kein Jeansboy

Directing: Sobo Swobodnik

Synopsis

The documentary film The Pope Is Not a Jeansboy casts light on Hermes Phettberg's life at the moment. We witness the daily fight for survival of a former star who has become a social misfit after three strokes and a heart attack, dependent on others, suffering from bladder weakness and still displaying an invincible will to survive. His life is presented in 12 stations in black and white like the way of the Cross.
