Four stories that took place in different historical periods and spanned more than 2,000 years form the storyline of the film. The first story is called "Mother and Dharma". Set in early 20th century California, a young worker is framed as a murderer and sentenced to death. And his wife must find out the real murderer and rescue her husband before execution. The second story, "The Passion of Jesus," takes place in Palestine in AD 27. Jesus was betrayed by his disciples, tortured and crucified. The third story is the "Massacre of St. Bartholomew", which took place in Paris, France in 1572 AD. Catholics unleashed a massacre of Protestants. A pair of young Protestants who were about to get married also suffered misfortune. The fourth story is "The Fall of Babylon": in the Middle East in 539 BC, the high priest of Babylon, because of his grudge with the prince Barzar, actually opened the city gate when the Persian army came to attack, and the ancient kingdom of Babylon was destroyed.

The narrative form is influenced by Dickens, with alternate montages. The four stories are related in theme, far away in time, and unconnected in plot. The principle of taking the lens as the basic unit of the film's space-time structure is established. Movies begin to have the syntax of the screen
