It's not that simple.

He suffers too.

Sometimes I feel sorry for him.

Courage, ideals, valor...

It felt good listening to him,

and I believed it.

Then came this chaos.

And you were disappointed?

I thought all was lost.

When you came I learned there

was something else in this world.

That's why I fell in love with you,

naughty Serb!

Lisa!

What're you thinking about?

Who, me? Nothing...

No, your mind was far away.

Why not tell me?

I was thinking of old age.

Of mine?

No... of my own.

Your old age is a long way off.

You've changed so much lately!

Even your gait...

What's bad about it?

No, but why now?

Where have you been?

I went for a stroll.

You're touchy, why?

Leave it.

Try to explain...

What?

This change...

You've estranged yourself.

It's your imagination.

Yes... the way things are

it will soon be over.

Of course, we shan't starve.

We still have time to live happily.

You think I ever lived happily?

What do you mean?

Nothing...

Attention!

Soldiers, go straight to the barracks.

And hand in your weapons.

Women seek shelter indoors!

Go!

Scaring whom? You bloodsucker's S.O.B!

How long will you go on

torturing the people?

Calm down!

The war's not over yet.

We'll end it ourselves.

Down with war!

Brother, don't go!

What are you doing?

Haven't we suffered enough

by so many foreigners?

Heroes, brothers, you've fulfilled y

our duty on the battlefields.

Heroes, brothers, you've fulfilled y

our duty on the battlefields.

Your exploits will go down in History.

These decorations which H.M. has...

Don't want your medals!

We want to know

who's running this country.

Far away, away from the sea there's

my village where my bonnie lives...

Why?

You're incorrigible!

A song, a couple of shots

and you triumph!

It's not the first time mankind

is trying to overthrow those

who shape its fate.

It still keeps trying.

And be disappointed once again.

What about the events in Russia?

I'm afraid

they've forgotten 1871.

The Paris Commune.

There can be no game

if each figure isn't in its place.

People might come up with a new

game, with new figures, new rules.

It's possible...

If everybody were in love.

Petio!

Varinov!

Come to your senses!

Luckily it was the wooden leg.

Take him home!

The P.O.W.'s should not leave the camp!

Organize their evacuation to Shoumen.

This very night.

Gentlemen, events took place that -

might be misinterpreted.

The Bulgarian army had to retreat.

I hope you know that.

But keep in mind

that a nation which for 500 years

has been fighting for freedom,

a nation that amazed the world

with its heroism

cannot be defeated!

Farewell, gentlemen!

The Bulgarians have shown great courage.
