So is picking fights with people from the next village. Andža has another trouble on his mind. He is trying to persuade his girlfriend to marry him. Then Andža’s elder brother Guido turns up. That arrival sets off a run of events. At the centre of them is an inflated sense of self. Pride is inside them too. So is a craving for a love stronger than death.
