After the pope dies, his ring (called the Ring of the Fisherman) is removed and destroyed
Narrative
When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world's most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church.. Many of the things Cardinal Lawrence and the rest of the priests do during the film’s conclave process are accurate to the Catholic faith and centuries of tradition. The Vatican announces that the throne of the Holy See (the governing body of the Catholic church) is vacant.
It is stated that Ayendi would be the first African Pope
The papal apartment is closed off with a crimson ribbon and sealed with a wax papal stamp. The College of Cardinals is sequestered in apartments (called the Domus Sanctae Marthae or Saint Martha’s House) to eat and sleep between votes. The windows and doors to the Sistine Chapel, where the actual election takes place and ballots are cast, are darkened, shuttered, and locked to maintain the secrecy of the conclave..

This is perhaps the best film I’ve seen this year and I’ve seen quite a few
This is a serious film, perhaps the only serious film that I’ve seen this year and it can be considered adult fare as many of the many details in this film will not be caught by a younger crowd. There were only adults in the matinee on opening day and this was the best attended matinee that I’ve been to so far this year. The film has great color, details, sets, writing, and plot with several plot twists thrown in for good measure.
It features a great cast and some really good acting
I don’t really consider it to be a mystery as I had the plot figured out early on, but it is presented in a very good fashion. All in all a great film and I’m considering seeing it again.
