The visit of Leo XIV promises to be a revolution in a country, Spain, where the supreme pontiff had not visited since Benedict XVI did so in 2011. In addition to being able to learn about the places where the Pope will go during his visit to our country, such as the multitudinous mass he will give this Sunday, June 7, in the heart of Cibeles square in the capital, you can also enjoy the best cinema and series about the figure of the Holy Father, review the life of Jesus and the experience of current faith, without leaving home and at the best possible price: you only need to subscribe to the most basic entertainment option of Movistar Plus+: available for 4.99 euros per month and without any permanence.

This appealing leisure plan includes not only the best cinema, trending series, programs everyone is talking about, and new documentaries, but also all original Movistar Plus+ productions and international productions you can’t miss. In addition, of course, a total of 70 television channels with the most varied programming you can imagine.
‘Conclave’, the thriller to understand the designation of a Pope
This film, released in 2026, won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and also the BAFTA for Best Film, with a restrained and superb Ralph Fiennes, who brought to life the absolute protagonist of the film: Cardinal Lawrence. A story told for the seventh art that has done more to explain the internal workings of the Roman Curia than many other documentaries that are (still) to be made.
‘The Chosen’, the television phenomenon that tells the life of Jesus
In all probability, no one thought that a series financed through crowdfunding would end up becoming a contemporary television phenomenon, distributed in more than 175 countries. The Chosen adds a human touch to the life of Jesus of Nazareth, exploring his life experience through several important biblical characters, such as Mary Magdalene, Matthew, or Peter, the latter being an indebted fisherman, to name a few examples. Furthermore, this title, which consists of several seasons already available on Movistar Plus+, has managed to reach a heterogeneous audience and not exclusively believers.
‘Habemus Papam’, the conclave seen from another perspective
The documentary series Habemus Papam portrays a figure like the Pope from an intimate existential doubt: that of a man who breaks down even before being able to pronounce the first blessing while looking out from St. Peter’s balcony. Acclaimed in Cannes, if you are a die-hard cinephile looking for something different, alternative, and very well made, the six episodes that comprise it will undoubtedly be among your favorites on the Movistar Plus+ list.
‘Jesus: Crown of Thorns’, the classics of the Passion are always relevant
Although we are not in the middle of Holy Week, the visit of Leo XIV to different cities in Spain is always a good excuse to enjoy an essential documentary if one wishes to understand, in its entirety, the last days Christ spent before being crucified. The sober staging, the appropriate tone, and a runtime that takes care of every last detail will make Jesus: Crown of Thorns a viewing to be enjoyed from the intimacy of the sofa.
‘Solo Javier’, the most commented real story of current Catholic Spain
This documentary will surprise more than one subscriber during the week of Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Spanish soil. Its protagonist, born in Madrid and named Javier Sartorius Milans del Bosch, left his life path linked to tennis for a spiritual one: he became a missionary, leaving everything behind. He was impacted by the poverty of the homeless in a city of so many contrasts like Los Angeles, and migrated to several places before dying of a heart attack just before being ordained a priest. The documentary Solo Javier, therefore, is a recognition and a review of his trajectory with interviews with family members.

‘Descalzos’, the Hakuna musical phenomenon brought to the screen
We couldn’t close this list of quality content, available on Movistar Plus+, without connecting with the event that opens the papal visit in Madrid this June 6: the youth vigil that will take place in Lima square. We say this because the documentary Descalzos has a lot to do with how thousands of young Spaniards feel the Catholic faith through the songs of the music band Hakuna, born a few years ago, and which is capable of filling entire pavilions among younger Catholic faithful. The story, directed by Santos Blanco, focuses on the creative process of their songs and the broad community that supports it.
