A team of renowned Italian producers is set to take center stage at NEM Zagreb 2024 (December 10–12) to present their latest project, The Pope’s Gold: a gripping spy thriller. Executive producer Dario Figoli (Roadmovie), creator and writer Dino Gentili, and director Enrico Lando will showcase this compelling Cold War drama, a collaboration between Roadmovie and Jolefilm, as they seek international partners to bring the series to life on a global scale.

Set against the backdrop of the late 1980s, the series revisits the complex intersection of religion, power, and politics during a pivotal period in global history.

At NEM Zagreb, Figoli, Gentili, and Lando aim to secure international co-production partnerships for this ambitious project. With its blend of high-stakes drama, rich historical context, and deeply human storytelling, The Pope’s Gold promises to resonate with audiences worldwide, making it a strong contender for streaming platforms and global distribution.

The New Europe Market in Zagreb has become a pivotal event for the audiovisual industry, bringing together creatives, producers, and distributors from around the world. The unveiling of The Pope’s Gold in this dynamic forum underlines its international ambitions and the growing importance of regional collaboration in storytelling.


The Pope’s Gold is not just a series; it is a lens into the moral compromises and sacrifices that shaped history. With plans for a second season tackling contemporary geopolitics, the series holds the potential to extend its relevance far beyond the Cold War narrative, creating a dialogue between the past and present.
