with Federica Pontremoli and Francesco Piccolo, the film stars Moretti as a psychiatrist called to the Vatican to help a cardinal who has been elected Pope but is reluctant to accept the position. Abbiamo il Papa has been called "a comedy of reflection” by La Badie, who produced Moretti's Aprile in 1998.
