On August 18, 1503, Pope Alexander VI, a member of the Borgia family, dies under mysterious circumstances. At dawn, the race for the papal throne begins. The candidates will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. The exclusive members of the decadent and power-hungry circle in the Vatican do not shy away from assassination attempts. Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere, a fierce enemy of the influential Borgia clan, would even be willing to sell his soul to the devil to attain the highest office. A Jodorowsky at his best, combined with stunning illustrations by Theo, makes "The Terrible Pope" an absolute highlight of the Splitter program.
