War romanticism, where there is one! They will have to cross the Dniester - Kadresh, Nikaren, Dunga and Bachu - because they are heading to Bessarabia for ammunition and the narrator says that their dangerous journey to the Danube is their only hope; In reality it is a risk!, and it is not a true detachment or army, neither because of the number: there are 6, nor because of the nature of its members; Stefan, for example, with his fur cape looks more like a bear hunter from the Kamchatka peninsula than a local who camouflages himself among the swamps and knows all the hidden directions there, Laesh a phlegmatic violinist who once played in the Budapest Opera, Alyosha Dyomin a former railway worker, Lascu son of a lawyer and cadet deserter from the royal army, plus of course the gypsy Fane Feliner, along with the circumspect Tornio and the Commissioner. Very early in the journey, what the narrator called "hope" will slowly fade; But who can blame Stefan, who is sent to open or clear the area - going ahead - to ensure that it is safe and there are no Romanian gendarmes, if on the mission he has to go through Shoyma where he has relatives? Taking a detour to reunite with his wife Victoria, his newborn, and his friend Georgy Ursov who plowed the land, was a delight that he took to the grave.Lascu immediately became exhausted and collapsed due to malaria. He is taken by Laesh and Fane to a nearby farm from which a piano piece by Liszt could be heard in the distance. As he sneaks in, the pianist explains to Laesh that he used to be the music teacher for the owners who have long since abandoned everything. Laesh knows that he may never again have the time or opportunity to mitigate his anxiety about making music and suddenly we will see him behind the pianist, accompanying him with the violin, before the absorbed eyes of the gypsy Fane. They leave the malaria patient with the musician for his care and leave after thanking each other for the magical moment. When Lascu wakes up, he explains everything to the pianist, but takes the opportunity to escape while the musician was distracted performing another piece. And this, the fast galloping scene of Lascu on his last breath before fainting trying in vain to reach his companions, unconscious in the same gallop of the horse, is the type of romantic scenes I always look for in a war movie. Pure romanticism, the problem is that the mass media and many types of commercial and easy cinema have educated audiences to believe that love scenes between human couples are the quintessence of romance. But in its pristine sense, romanticism was a feeling opposed to rationalism, that is, contrary to logic; motley and disorderly, selfish and, for many examples that are not exhausted in Goethe's Werther, self-destructive.
This scene is worth the movie, no matter - at least for me - how cheesy it may seem, and of course, that when he wakes up from his faint, those for whom he served as a soldier in the army demand an account from him for joining the side of criminals. against the royal army. In any case, Mircea Lascu does not betray the insurgent side and does not betray Ataman Torni; dies by shooting His 4 remaining companions recover the horses of an army soldier after seeing the torture of a breeder of those horses. The nighttime bonfires for the nearby wedding that must be taking place seem to show that hope that the reactionaries have been waiting for throughout the journey in search of ammunition. The wedding or celebration was in Bessarabia, right where the ammunition is located. With the password to order a Muflatara Dobrudhzi wine and then Lacrimae Christi from the bar, the bartender surreptitiously takes them to the steamer Maria to load the barrels with bullets and bombs instead of wine. Only they are discovered and Alyosha dies before leaving. In the distance the Commissioner sees the "Maria" approaching; his hope was justified.
