Konklave

In the organizer's words:

It's summer, and the outdoor pool at Brauweg is hosting our annual open-air cinema: watch movies under the stars, and swim, bathe and picnic beforehand - outdoor pool AND cinema, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, from July 3 to August 30. As always, you are welcome to bring your own blankets and picnic utensils, but drinks, snacks and popcorn will also be provided in the outdoor pool. You can sit on the large lawn, and there are chairs for those who find the ground too uncomfortable.

Admission is from 8pm (Saturday from 7.30pm), and if you buy your tickets in advance (online here via our website or at our box offices), you'll help us keep the queues short. The screenings start at dusk, the approximate starting times can be found in the program booklet and when booking tickets online here on this page.

The Pope has died unexpectedly. Cardinal Lawrence is entrusted with the difficult task of presiding over the election of the new pope. Powerful cardinals from all over the world travel to Rome for the conclave. As the doors to the Sistine Chapel close, a power struggle ensues. Cardinal Lawrence finds himself at the center of intrigue and corruption and uncovers a secret that could shake the very foundations of his faith. All this happens while millions of people wait for white smoke to rise from the chimney of the chapel. "A weighty subject, overwhelming scenery and bitter conflicts that promise juicy acting. Rarely has the wait for the white smoke been so gripping." (epd Film)
