"Let us part - while we‘re good," Bagrat says to the peasants who have sheltered him, bleeding, from his pursuers. Let's part before any of you betray me... Love and hatred, meanness and courage, betrayal and self-sacrifice - everything that a romantic, adventurous plot requires (and that is also found in everyday life!).
