In short, the film is about nothing. From

In short, the film is about nothing. From the very first minutes, when Lakota is introduced as a Russian who lived in Lviv (which would have been impossible), and when Soviet leaders send a former political prisoner to the Vatican as a priest, it became clear that there wasn’t much to hope for. The story doesn’t unfold in a single direction, but rather in four: in the Vatican, in the home of a woman whose husband is unfaithful, in famine-stricken China, and the quarters of Lakota’s friend, also a priest. None of these storylines is fully developed. The priest who wrote inconvenient books for the Church simply died of a seizure... The resolution of the Chinese issue is not shown. What happened to the couple — also unclear. In my opinion, they could have at least tried to manage it somehow in two hours...

The film was bound to be "A Superproduccion" but achieving its goals only halfway. It has an Alex North score, great cast, (Anthony Quinn fine as usual), but it looks very outdated indeed. There are two parts, being the first part better than the second. This is clearly a film of Producer rather than Director and it can be entertaining to watch on a rainy weekend.. If you don't anything better to watch. Nice photography and "small roles" by outstanding actors but very forgettable indeed.
