My unhappy Turkish March

This classical Turkish March by Beethoven through the whole film shows the vivace of inner tragedy. The main quote from the film (to my humble opinion): -What happened? What s going on? -Dad, what is the bandage on your head? -Tell me what happened here? -Nino threw a pan at Vakho. Vakho moved and the pan hit Grandpa. -Is that anything wrong with your head? -That is nothing wrong with his head. -How do you know that is nothing wrong with my head? -How dare you speak for others?

"How do you know that nothing s wrong with my head"?

Nothing wrong with the head of a woman, who always wanted to live alone? Nothing wrong with the head of her husband, who betrayed her? Nothing wrong??....
