On August 2, 1903
the Macedonian people

has risen against the rule
of the Ottoman Empire.

The greatest victory
of the freedom fighters

was the Krushevo Republic,
a brotherly federation

of several nationalities. This
film is about the 10 days

of the first Balkan Republic
"It was small, but the concept

made the Krushevo Republic
magnificent.

The first Macedonian llinden
was followed by bloody years

of suffering. Another llinden
will follow, but victorious,

and it will bring freedom.
The second llinden is coming. "

Dimo Hadzhi Dimov,
"The Feast of St. Elijah"

So, the governor of Bitola
thinks we should

beware of Moscow if we cut too deep?

Yes, Lord Yaya. And the
other European hyenas also.

They will get excited if
they smell a carcass.

They are howling around
the sick on at Bosphorus.

They are mistaken.

The Osmanly is sick
only in Macedonia.

However, he has always known
the best cure for it.

Letting of blood.

Of course, the Macedonian
Revolutionary Organisation

is giving signs
to the European thrones.

The Macedonian
Revolutionary Organisation

is ally to no one, really.
Because it says to everyone

Macedonia belongs
to the Macedonians.

The proud restaurant owner
Pitu Guli is enough for me.

He's damn angry infidel.
- You have a good eye, Zeynel.

There have always been
rebels like him.

But, the Empire hasn't
fallen because of them.

The snake hides in
another place.

In the head of Nikola Karev,
the teacher.

He's waving with some
Communist Manifest,

and boasting with some
German King Marko...

This is the last capsule from
the ones we got from Greece.

But the officer Hristo told
me how capsules are made.

Let's finish them right away.
- You may have it your way.

Your tax collectors are
enough for that neighbourhood.

While you, Zeynel and your
guards, you will start

with Pitu Guli's restaurant.
I want the heads of the men!

You seem angry, thunder-bearer.

Or my weak eyes fool me.
Don't be angry.

Forgive the people that
didn't come today,

on the Feast of St. Elijah,
to worship you in Church.

Today, the people are in the
mountains, in the fields,

under the earth,
and above the earth.

They pray to you to shake
the skies and the earth

the way only you can.

I give my solemn oath
that I will fight

will all my strength
for the freedom of Macedonia.

And I will give my life,
if it's necessary,

in the struggle for the zeal
of the Organisation.

Let me be killed by this gun
and this knife that I kiss

if I break my sacred oath.

Either freedom, or death.

Either freedom, or death.

Either freedom, or death.

Hurry, shoot from the windows.

Stop shooting, I'll talk
with the commander.

If we charge with greater
force, we'll disperse them.

The best men will be killed
for nothing.

You won't have time to regret
you believed the Turks.

Grandpa, stop tolling.

We have overcome the Turks.
Come and see.

I don't see anything.
- Lord Alli!

I want to see the commander,
Lord Alli!

Lord Suleyman, there is
no escape for you.

Stop shooting. Stop it!
- Your lives will be spared.

Surrender... - I am an officer
of the Sultan's army.

I don't surrender to rebels.
- You won't lose your honour.

If you surrender to
the Macedonian army.

Listen to me, you restaurant owner.
Go back home,

and don't make demands
with bare hands.

Turkish motherfuckers.

They are shooting again,
Grandpa.

The people are shooting,
the freedom is hidden

deep under the ground,
you need a lot of shooting

for it to hear you.

So the bloodshed's begun.
- Yes, it's begun.

God knows when will it stop.

Have you filled it with oil?

Sprinkle it all around the
building, we'll set it on fire.

Give me the torch!

Follow me!

We'll get away through
the ravine.

Come on everybody, sing!

Come on, sing!
This will not happen again!

We've became men!

Darkness behind us,
in front of us...

God knows what!
Let's drink!

I want to say just one thing.

The Republic, the form
of government that you,

the representatives of
the people, have chosen,

is an ideal for all the
freedom loving peoples.

A Republic here,
in the Balkans,

where the ruthless Empire
of the Sultan rules,

as well as the Monarchies
that oppress their peoples,

can be only an example
to all the enslaved people.

We'll all be equal
before the law.

I'm happy I'm part
of this small people,

and that I'm a contemporary
of these fateful events.

May our freedom and
our Republic be eternal.

For many years to come!

Let the members of the
temporary government

led by Dinu Vangel,
go on with their work.

Members of the Temporary
Government, please,

take your seats.

Secretary and representative
for Requisition, George Chavche.

Treasurer, Teochar Neshkov.

Governor of the city and
police representative,

Hristo Kjurchiev.

Representative for food and
production, Dimitar Sekulov.

Representative for the
Sanitary Services,

Nikola Palju.

We can expect the Turks
to try to conquer Krushevo.

Our units hold
all the roads in.

We shall reject any attack.
- That's not enough. - Exactly.

We should neutralise
the Turkish villages.

Listen. Let me calm them
down with my unit.

There is another way.
We could win them.

To be with us. - The Turks
understand nothing but force.

We'll write a proclamation
and send it to the villages.

Hristo, write it down.

Brothers and compatriots.

We, your eternal neighbours,

disregarding the faith
and nationality,

being fed up with tyranny,
have raised our heads,

and we decided to defend
ourselves with arms

from all the enemies of ours,
as well as yours,

and to gain freedom.

Speak!
- All of Macedonia has risen.

Neveska and Klisura are free.
There are battles everywhere.

A message from the headquarters.

Sarafov says that the attack
on Bitola is impossible

because of military reasons.
So it has been delayed.

Several of our villages
have been burnt.

Deceit!

Stay calm, Pitu!

Shameful betrayal. It will
be harder for Macedonia

to get rid of Sarafov,
than of the Empire.

Sarafov is the banker
of our fight.

But we're no adventurers.

Then why have we risen unprepared?

You all know my opinion
about the rebellion.

I was voted against
at the Congress in Smilevo.

This means that Sarafov
waits for the Bulgarian guns.

Maybe that's the solution
for Macedonia.

That's the solution for
the Koburg dynasty

and the traitors. Macedonia
needs to decide by herself.

Those who can't win
their own freedom,

don't have the right
to claim it!

We don't stand a chance alone.

That's an adventure!
- That's betrayal.

So, the rebellion needs to
turn against the traitors,

and after that, against
the Empire.

We'll reject them
for a day or two.

Maybe three. Only if Bulgaria
declares war on Turkey...

But who will throw away
the Bulgarians

if we let them "help" us?
If they start helping,

others will join in.
Many others.

And Macedonia will eternally
be "liberated" by someone.

Liberated too much!
- So, what now?

Nothing. We'll threaten the
world, even for a moment!

This is where we'll pick
the fruits of revolution!

By ourselves?

Without any permission?
- By ourselves.

If we're to die,
we'll chose our own death.

That's right, Pitu.
We'll die our own way.

Hristo, write this down.
We haven't raised arms

against you. We aren't
set on killing and robbing.

We emphasise with you
as our brothers,

because we understand that
you're slave like us,

slaves to the rich
and the powerful.

Join us, brothers, to defeat
the enemy that is common to us.

Join us under the flag
of autonomous Macedonia.

Everyone is here, except
the army commander

and those who didn't want
to surrender.

Teacher, why have you chained us?

We're not soldiers, we're
merely officers of the Empire.

What do you intend to do with us?
- You're captives.

When the slave captures
the master,

the faith is decided
by a knife.

You will be prosecuted
by a court.

Those found not guilty
will be set free.

Death to the oppressors!
- Calm down, men!

Death! Hang them!

Long live Nikola Karev!
- Long live!

We don't want revenge, but
we don't forgive either.

We are sworn to the ideals of justice,

and we will judge according
to its laws.

Long live Macedonia!

Long live the freedom!

Long live Pitu Guli!

Listen, give me the one
with the bare head.

Let me judge him!
- We will all judge him.

Give him to me, I beg you.

Just him.

You don't know how much
he has burnt me.

Let me judge him!
- It is not possible, Chavche.

Go away.
- Give him to me!

They are coming.
- We'll ambush them.

Leave the leader to me.

Damn you.

Come to your senses, Lord Alli.

You don't have much time.

Why didn't you kill me?
- You are strong-headed.

And I wanted to return
a debt to you. Come on.

Let me send them to Allah.
- Let us wait for the voyvoda.

I wanted to see you leading
the thieves.

I had to find a way
to reach my people.

So you're not a leader
of those home burners.

You wouldn't believe me
even if I told you.

All right, the captives will tell

what kind of soldier are you.
- Why don't you kill me now?

It would be better you took
my head on your horse.

And boasted with it then
leading me alive and naked.

Without an uniform.
- Don't worry.

We'll kill you but
lawfully and orderly.

I told you, we're no bandits.
We fight for the freedom

of Macedonia. - If I believe you,
I'll die in wonder.

I would've died in wonder too,
when you shot at me

during our negotiations.
- I wanted to scare you.

Otherwise I would've killed you.
- That's why.

I spared you, I want to lead
you naked through Krushevo,

otherwise, I would've killed you there.

We captured these alive, voyvoda.

You there! Do you know
what awaits you?

Mercy, my lord, we have wronged.
- Tell me...

Did Lord Suleyman lead you?
If you lie to me,

you'll lay here stinking,
without a grave,

not even your Allah would
want to see you. Speak!

He was leading us, my lord.

He ordered us to burn
the village.

To hell with them.

They were lying, Lord Alli,
didn't they?

Let's say, they did.
- We did say it.

It was obvious they were lying.

We'll deal with you
according to the law.

Tie him up, and mount up your horses.

I heard something over there.
- Stop scaring me.

You are not made for a rebel.

It's easy for you.
You're not from around here.

You have no children,
no family.

And me, I can't see neither
my wife, nor the children.

Come on, it's mostly the
wife you miss, don't you?

There it is again!
- Sit still and be quiet!

Damn them. I have to stay
awake because of them.

I would slit their throats,
if it were permitted.

And I would help you with it.

Yes, but the headquarters
says otherwise.

What is this? - What?
- Are you deaf?

I hear nothing.

Why didn't you say so?
I'm deaf, too!

Heroes, you proclamation to
our compatriots interests me.

We mistook you for a bandits.

Your aim is great and your
struggle is thought-out.

I acclaim you.

Let us go to that terrible
and glorious way,

through which all the nations
achieved their freedom

praying to the great Allah
to protect the right side,

I ask for two things.
Don't leave me naked.

Send for my clothes that
are left in the barracks

you attacked so bravely.
And destroy this letter.

Commander of the Krushevo
garrison,

lieutenant Suleyman Alli.

Did you really write this
letter, Lord Suleyman?

Yes, I did.

What was the purpose
of this letter?

And have you stated your real
opinion of the rebellion?

The purpose of the letter was
to plead for my uniform.

About my opinion of your rebellion,

stated in the letter, I wrote.
It is more of a courteousness,

but it reflects my conviction.
- Betrayal!

Grand treason in the middle
of the Empire!

You want to save yourself
both from them and from us!

You, deceitful dog.
- Stay up, Lord Yaya!

This is no longer your Empire,

this is the Krushevo Republic.

- Continue. - It is clear to me
that I deserve the punishment

both from you and from the Empire,

which regretfully
will outlive you.

Was lieutenant Suleyman a member
of the secret committee?

He was, but...
- But what?

They didn't trust him much.
- What about you? - Me...

I'm a poor, simple minded man.
Takju Vale told me that.

We should all contribute to
the destruction of Macedonians.

And when the Greeks come,
I would get a high office.

Please, forgive me.

The Court of the Krushevo
rebels, having in mind

the proven existence
of a secret committee

for liquidation of the
Revolutionary Organisation

in Krushevo, sentences to death

the director of the Post Office,
Lord Yaya,

the Police Chief
Djemail-bay,

the police officer
Zeynal-chauch,

the police agent Ayredin Assan,

and the spy Takju Vale.
The accused Abdula Tekjinec,

Islamised Gypsy, is sentenced
to life expatriation

from Krushevo. In case
we catch him around here again,

He will be shot at the spot.
- I will run away, I'll run!

The Court appreciates the fact

that the accused Turkish
officer, Suleyman Alli

resents deeply all the evil
done by the Turkish authorities.

His honesty and sympathy
for the ideas

for democratic renewal
of Turkey. Therefor,

he is acquitted and recommends
he is considered

a citizen of the Krushevo
Republic with all the rights.

Step out, Lord Alli.

The sentence will be
carried out immediately.

Fire!

Good day.

You don't know me.
I am Tashku Gjonda.

I was born in Krushevo,
but I left a long time ago.

Have a seat.
- Thank you.

Congratulations for the republic.
- Thank you.

The first Balkan Republic,
at the very centre

of the Ottoman Empire.
Will you hold it? - What?

The Republic. The freedom.

If we had the strength
to gain it, we'll hold it.

May God help.

Once you've started chopping
heads off, you're a state.

Yes. But beware of the
poison of power, Mr. Karev.

Do you have any other advice?
- No, I'm just like you,

forgive me, a former
Turkish subject,

I hold a Turkish passport.

You know how it is. I don't
have and I don't want to have

anything to do with this.
I want guarantees

for my safety. - I can't
guarantee anything to anyone.

You should chose for yourself,
will you stay or... - Or what?

You can leave the city
whenever you like.

We'll issue a pass for you.
- Wait, I don' want to leave.

In that case, whatever
happens to you

is your responsibility alone.
- So, that's the way it is.

Nice. So everyone for
themselves, huh?

That's the way it goes.

Thank you, Mr. President.
- Good bye.

Brothers and sisters,
citizens of Krushevo,

dear rebels
from all of Macedonia.

Today is the 7th day since
the flag of our free Republic

wafts high.

At this hour, let us dedicate
our thoughts

to those who have laid their
lives for freedom.

They are not dead,
they'll live in us.

And in those who will
come after us,

in happier time for which
we give our lives.

Glory to the fallen.
- Glory to them.

Brothers!

Our struggle in which
we'll all die, is sacred.

Our cause must win one day.

The earth will receive us
one day.

We need more leaders.
This service is not

for the dead only,
but also for those

who will die soon. This service
is for all of us.

Let us say goodbye
with the last song.

Memory eternal...

What is happening here?
- We are fortifying.

I prayed for you.
- This is no time for praying,

but for swearing.
- Is it that bad?

Talk to me!
You'll feel better.

I have learned that Sarafov
and the others also,

are angry because we created a Republic.

They accuse us of imposing our will.

What about the will
of the people?

The people in every state
and in every revolution,

sooner or later becomes
nothing more than people.

No, I don't recognize you.
You're not like this.

No, my dear, seems like
there is more of me

than it should. And
I can't frame myself.

The frames they make
for me are too tight.

Do you remember what
you told me?

The laws of history...
- It seems to me that

our history will become
a twisted ankle

that is bound to hurt more.
- Look, Grandpa it's him.

Who, my child?
- Nikola Karev, the teacher.

The tsar of Krushevo and of Macedonia.

Wait a minute.

The blind will regain
their sight

in order to see
the tsar of Macedonia.

What's it, Grandpa?
- Congratulations,

for your tsardome and for
the freedom of the people.

I will tell you something.
Have trust in this people.

You fight for them in church
and in the earth. Let it be.

What's the church for?
Is it for dying only?

Let it be so. - We will fight
to the last generation.

For the people and for those
Christian beauties

that we have to turn
into forts.

I thank you, my son.
Do you know me?

I know you. Be well.

And may you have a steady
hand while you pass your art

to this child.

Stay well and healthy,
Grandpa Doitchin.

Stay well, my son.
May your way be blessed.

You have put sticks
on your shoulders

and you think you can
turn the world upside down.

Damn kids.

We have entered your home,
consider it as an honour.

Don't insult us, otherwise...

What's going on? Who are
these people? - Imagine

they have decided I am
to give them 50 golden coins.

Yeah, right.

What do they need them for?
- For defence of the Republic.

Right. - Why don't you
give them what they want?

What do you mean? Should I be
a partner to men

who risk their lives?
That's a lot of money. No way.

Wait a minute.

You've gone nuts!

Wait. There's more than that
in the bag. - Let's count.

Let me...

This is not going to end
like this. - Come on, count.

I'm counting, I'm counting.

Don't wave that paper
in front of my nose.

The gun is ready, voyvoda.
- Load it up.

Will you give those down there...
A gun?

Easy, Chavche. We need
one or two more.

Hit them between the eyes
let it be heard far away.

Get back, someone might get hurt.

It has broken apart.

Doesn't matter. Now we know
where we have mistaken.

We will put two rows
of rings on the others.

Summon the voyvodas, and the
members of the headquarters.

Go and place yourself somewhere.
Thank you for this letter.

May I know what is written in it?
- Baktiyar-pasha

demands our unconditional surrender.

He says, he would be merciful
with us. Otherwise,

he says he'll set fire
to the city.

Hurry up, find a shelter somewhere.

Hurry up! A long journey awaits us.

Wait a minute!

You stay here.

What do you think?
Will we pass?

If we grease it, it will easy.

Yes, I know. Greasing
is all they want.

Here, take these
three golden coins.

Easy.

Go on, it's time for bed,
my heroes.

Obey your mother.

Tomorrow I'll bring some
leblebija and raisins.

Which Feast is it tomorrow, mother?

Hush. There is no Feast tomorrow.

Keep them well.
If the Turks capture you,

give up on me. Say,
I am a punk, whatever.

Keep them alive. - To whom
are you leaving us, master?

To Macedonia.

Fighting for the freedom
of Macedonia,

an enslaved country.

Well, well you sing well.

You're no Turk. How's
that possible, a Turk

who sings well?
A Macedonian song, no less!

Don't start again.

I am Turk and you are
an infidel. So what?

It's too much for me!

No, you're no Turk.
You can't be Turkish.

Why am I drinking with you
for two days, then?

I am no Turk.

Nor a man.

Nor an officer.

And you're drinking with me

'cause you have no other
drinking company. - Wrong.

I can drink by myself.
I can even drink not.

I drink with you because
we drink well together.

And I like drinking with you.
- If so...

drink, brother Chavche.
Drink. Give us a bottle!

There is no more!
We're closing.

We are doomed and you
don't care a bit.

Go away, there is no more!
- Let me tell you something.

Fighting for freedom.

Is this possible?
Not only I drink with a Turk,

but I told him
we drink together well.

Don't spill the brandy,
brother Chavche.

I'm not your brother,
you Turkish dog!

If you want to play that way,

The Turkish and the Macedonian
dogs bark the same.

Fighting for freedom.

As you know, the order
from the headquarters is

to retreat without any losses.

They probably have a plan
for further action.

Our aim us to preserve
our strength,

and if possible, the people
of Krushevo.

Please, constrain form
questions now,

you'll find your answers
some day with our death,

now or later. So let us be
strong now.

When living is harder
than dying.

Hristo, read the answer we
prepared for Baktijar-pasha.

I ask you to comply
with this answer.

We haven't risen in order
to surrender.

We'll defend Krushevo ‘till
the last drop of blood.

The Headquarters.

Do you agree?
- Tactically, it is a good move.

If they think we will fight,
we'll get away more easily.

This is no tactical move.

This is the most sacred truth Kare,

I will defend Krushevo with my troops.

Until our last breath.
- What about the order?

Put it you know where!
- Pitu, that's madness.

We have never lacked sanity,
we lack insanity.

Leave me alone with my
insanity. Goodbye!

Leave Pitu to me.
Go now!

Do you have certain news?
- The news that I bring

can be trusted.

I have obtained them from
our man in Krushevo.

His name is Abdula Tekinec.
- Speak.

There are 800 rebels, lightly-armed,

but very courageous and well trained.

They are grouped in several units.

A so-called voyvoda leads every unit.

Do we know what happened
to our troops?

The garrison was destroyed
in the first attack.

All our troops were captured,
sentenced to death,

and executed three days ago.
- What about the commander?

Seems like he was executed too.

He was a good officer.
All of them executed.

Our retaliation will be fierce!

First, burn all the surrounding
Christian villages.

Secondly, even if they
surrender without fight,

I order them to be
liquidated without mercy.

Yes, sir!

We have captured a man
accompanied by a woman.

He says he wants to leave
Krushevo. He has brought

the bandit's answer.

They refuse to surrender.
They will fight to the last.

All right. Tomorrow we'll
attack with all our strength.

Artillery fire in advance for
two hours. Do you understand?

We don't have sufficient
information

about the enemy positions.
Should we fire blindly?

Fire upon the houses,
the city is their heart.

Burn it to the ground!
- Yes, sir!

What are you waiting for?
- What should we do

with the man and the woman?
- Tie them and send them back

instead of an answer.
Let them see what awaits them.

What's the matter now?
You're afraid, aren't you?

You'll have your way
tomorrow. All of Krushevo

will be yours for three days.
- Thank you, lord pasha.

But the woman is very pretty.
- Do whatever you like.

Let your dogs smell some blood.

Unharness the oxen.

Harness him.

What is this? Men!

Let me go! I protest!

Let me go!

Run!

I said run!

Get down!

Vaka!

Please, no!

Damn woman.
Why did I bring you here?

You attracted me
like a magnet, damn you.

You wanted to have me.
They had you.

They took you.

I deserve it, I do.
Have no mercy, earth!

No I too, have been fed
with rocks and dirt.

Vaka, Vaka, damn me.

You shouldn't have given
them the gold.

Maybe it would have
ended differently.

You have never been so heavy.

They have filled you with filth.

Damn their mothers.

Now you will give birth
to a dragon.

Reason, reason...

The reason is just a shell,
and life is all the rest.

You haven't face with the evil
that's why you talk like that.

Rats were jumping in to my face
in dark prison cell in Persia

for eight year. Even the death
seems to me much more better.

I forbid you to die. To continue
the battle you have to stay alive.

If it's possible.
- And if it's not?

The aim imposed by the common deed
is more important than us.

There is no cause
greater than man!

And here we have 10.000
innocent citizens,

that you want us to leave.
- We should leave.

Because of them. If we leave
the city without resistance,

we will keep our strength,
and there is a possibility

the Turks won't be so cruel
to the people.

You speak as if you didn't
know what the Turks are like.

How can you leave the people
defenceless,

like sheep to the wolves.
They trusted the Republic!

That was the risk of our
insurrection. We have risen.

And we failed. What about you?
Do you think you can save them

with your sacrifice?
- But the people and the Turks

will know how freedom is
defended and killed for.

We all know that. Dying is
the easiest thing to do,

but you want to make
yourself a spiteful hero.

Brother Kare. If it is so,
I know nothing anymore.

My mind has reached its limit.

We need to keep our strength
to continue with the struggle.

What struggle, if we leave
the one we started here?

There are other ways to
continue the struggle.

Revolutions are not won quickly!

Do you really think so?
Are those words yours?

That's the only thought
I have now.

Without it, I can't
breathe anymore.

So that's your straw.
- With that straw

this people will rise again!
- That's right.

But many will drown until
then. Let me drown, too.

So you leave me alone
with men like those?

You should live, Kare.
We'll need the educated.

Let your mind keep you alive.

Give me your hand, Kare.

If I give you my hand,
sending you to Bear's Rock,

I'll despise myself forever.
Why can't you understand?

If I retreat with you, I won't
be able to forgive myself.

Obviously, we've started
thinking differently.

No, I tell you that we think
the same. - So, you tell me...

Should I turn against the
Organisation? - Why not?

There are two different
organisations now.

They didn't create
the Republic, we did.

Listen to me. You are
the president of the Republic,

not some guy from
some restaurant in Sofia.

Let me tell you, because
we understand each other.

It is pointless for you
to die here and now.

It is possible that someone
wants to get rid of us now,

so we wouldn't be
in their way later.

I don't understand. So,
you think we were deceived

with the call to arms.
And now you want to obey

the same people that deceived us!

The mistake has taught me
not to make it completely. - No!

I won't leave the Republic
without a fight!

Our Republic cannot exist
without the success

of the Insurrection as a whole!
- But it existed!

And it shall exist! I owe it
to the Republic. So do you.

I know it will be alive
as long as this people exist.

They will bring it to light
at some other time,

but that will not be a time
decreed by others.

Don't you understand?
Now is the time

for cleansing of the Organisation.

Maybe so. But it is
too much for me. Sorry.

The Republic is the most
sacred thing for me.

If the insurrection
is a deception,

The Republic isn't. Even
the dead may defend it!

No Pitu. If I let you die now,
I'll be responsible

in the history.
- The history is bullshit!

All kind of lazy asses
will write the history,

for all kinds of interests.

I'm not going to the
Bear's Rock for myself.

I don't think
I am irreplaceable.

On the contrary. My example
may give birth to many others

just like me.
Even better than me.

Remember, Kare. This people
has only one way out:

either death or freedom.
Maybe just death.

Don't forget. I'm on your side
even if I'm dead.

I'll keep on fighting
together with you.

There is one last means.

I know. You can accuse me
of insubordination

and carry out the sentence immediately.

Come on, shoot!

Your bullet is heavier than
a thousand Turkish bullets.

Shoot already!

Here. You can also say
I am a coward

and force me to come with you
to the Bear's Rock.

More heavy words, teacher.
No, you have to stay.

And find the traitor.

It is a great shame for you,
Macedonia,

the others know you
but you don't know yourself.

The smell of incense
is too strong.

On your posts!

Fire!

Fire!

Run, my son. They are
burning the city.

Here, take this cross,
keep it well.

Run to the mountains.
Our soldiers are there,

they will protect you.
Run away. Run!

Damn you, Lord! Why did you
let the thunder upon us?

May your Kingdom be destroyed,
because you forgot

what justice is.

Even the Lord is against us.

And he took the flag
and put the mark on it.

Why don't you ask me why
did I drink Shaban's blood?

What is there to ask, bro?
He has destroyed your home,

he has killed your father,
your mother, your wife,

he had scared your child to death.

But it was Turkish blood.
Your blood.

You're right.

My blood.

Here.

Drink it, brother Chavche,
if you didn't drink enough.

This is Turkish blood, also.
- You're nuts.

What do you think of me?
Maybe I'm drunken,

but I'm not bloodsucker.

Alli! Are you alive?

And I thought...

I thought you got bored
with the brandy,

and you wanted to change
the drink.

Come on, get up, you fool.
Come on!

Hey, Chavche...

You were ruined by a Turk,
but you befriended a Turk.

Damnation!

So, this is the answer
of Baktiyar-pasha's.

Oh, Kare, how wrong you were.

Take this man to Krushevo.
- No, voyvoda.

Give me a gun,
if you have one to spare.

Don't leave me.
- All right.

Take some men and bury her.

Let me hear a song!

Macedonia the others know you,
but you don't know yourself.

Macedonia will be free,
it will live in freedom.

We don't want gold,
we don't want money,

we want freedom, human justice.

Macedonia will be free...

Attack!

Charge!

Attack!

Voyvoda, we are surrounded
from all sides.

We have no more bullets.
- Are we the only ones left?

Take your hats off.

Load your guns.

Aim.

Fire.

Oh, Macedonia...

The battle is starting,

Up there, there in Krushevo,

Up on the Bear's Rock,

Up there in Krushevo,
Up on the Bear's Rock...

Fire in honour of the heroes.

Fire!

Fire!

There was a fine hero,

There was a fine hero,

Pitu Guli...

There was a fine hero,

Pitu Guli...

The woman cry,

The children scream,

And blood is shed

Up on the Bear's Rock...

And blood is shed

Up on the Bear's Rock...

Pitu Guli has died with honour.

For our homeland,

For Macedonia.
