I also watched this film. It described a kind of great drama of heroes' lives. One of the main lines of the plot is a fate of the main heroine: When the story began, she was a child and when it finished she was an old woman. Because of her mistake, lives of her sister and one young man were distroyed. It had a happy end, but lately it appeared that the end was written by that girl who was reallysorry about her behaviuor in childhood.
