Highly theatrical Russian art film.
Time to judge humanity. “And who is the judge?” a picky viewer will ask. Yes, and who will obey judges who have emerged from different eras and civilizations, accusing the entire human race. Everything is mixed up in this phantasmagoria – and the cellars of the Inquisition, where Jesus Christ met Leo Tolstoy, and representatives of the intergalactic community considering the Earthlings’ claim to accept them into their brotherhood, and today, hardly distinguishable from the barbarism of bygone eras…
These have been colorized.
