The tragic story of the many lives of Father Dinis, his dark origins and his pious works, and the different fates of all those who, trapped in a sinister web of love, hate and crime, cross paths with him through years of adventure and misfortune in the convulsed Europe of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Beautiful....but long
I wasn't able to follow all the subtle and complex relationships. There was a lot of flash forwards and flash backs. Beautifully filmed. Lovely costumes, settings, and cinematography
