The movie depicts Jorge Bergoglio having a fiancée and almost getting married to a woman named Amalia. Those events are fictionalized. Her character is based on Amalia Damonte, who grew up in Bergoglio's neighborhood, and often attended school with him. In the book "Pope Francis: The People's Pope", Damonte explains that their "romance" is based on a love letter that Bergoglio wrote to her when he was 12 years old, saying, "If I can't marry you, I'll become a priest." In the book, Damonte said: "The media made me the pope's fiancée, which is not true. We were 12 years old at this time and good friends, that's all."
