GREGORIUS, THE CHOSEN ONE

by Tomasz Mielnik

synopsis

This wild absurdist story, inspired by Thomas Mann’s novel The Holy Sinner, follows the fate of a lowly boy born out of forbidden love. His ambition and dreams propel him toward knighthood and royal glory, only for him to unknowingly marry his own mother, spend seventeen years chained to a rock, and, against all odds, become… the Pope! A cheeky tale full of ambition, absurd twists, and ridiculously exaggerated turns of fate that transform a lonely medieval teenager into an unforgettable legend.
