The Popess

The Popess Trailer
In 13th-century Milan, a group of heretics shakes up the establishment by declaring their leader, Guglielma of Bohemia, the second coming of the Holy Spirit and by appointing another woman—Maifreda Pirovano—as their Popess.
The female-led holy revolution has begun, but with the Inquisition lurking, the situation becomes increasingly more and more incendiary…
A dark-comedy to die for!
