Historical film

Vatroslav Mimica

Short description:
While Banovic Strahina is hunting, Alija and his group attack his tower. He kills all the men, and takes away Strahinja's wife Andja, trying to seduce her by the way. She resists for a long time, but eventually gives in. Strahinja finds the renegade camp and kills Alija in duel. Andja then goes to her father to endure her penalty - digging her eyes out. She is taken to a temple, where the cruel custom is about to take place. Strahinja is there also. Everyone believes that he has come to convey the penalty himself. He takes a red-heated sword into his hands, but in an instant, forgives her and leads her out from the temple. By the motives of famous, synonymous folk song.
