Synopsis/Details

Pope Francis rises early on the morning of December 17, 2020, and is none too thrilled to be reminded that it is his 84th birthday. His mood brightens when he receives a huge bunch of his favorite Sunflowers from Teo, a seven year old orphan and invited to bless the new Chinese/Italian autonomous tourist space-plane, LUNAc1.

Pope Francis invites his sister, Maria Elena, Pope Benedict and Teo to accompany him. Teo begs to include Giselle, a miniature horse the Pope received as a gift from Sister Bernadette and Pope Benedict's cat, Brunhilde, who insists on riding on Giselle's back.

After he blesses the space-plane Pope Francis pops inside for a quick look. To his great surprise he finds Teo, Giselle and Brunhilde already inside. A wacky prank caused by journalist intern ,Paulo, sends them and the space-plane on a thrilling unplanned flight.
