No,the young Albanian girl did not kill Alekasandar.Alekas-
was killed by his cousin while attempting to rescue her.Al-ekasandar`s cousin  believed that the girl had killed his
brother and was going to kill her in revenge.The film never
shows who actually killed  the man.Some of the village chil-dren claimed to have seen the man and girl together.The young girl is an Albanian Muslim and the man who was killed 
was a Macedonian Orthodox christian.Because of what they  
told by the children and because of the centuries-old hatred
which existed between Muslims and Christians, Alekasandar`s
cousin and other men from the village automatically assumed
without actual proof, that the girl was guilty.
  Alekasandar`s efforts to save the  young girl were futile,
but instead of just watching and choosing to do nothing in the face of evil, he had at least made a  noble attempt.One
of the men from the village, looking down upon Aleksandar`s
dead body, refers to him as a "Blind Fool", but when a per-son is willing to lay down his life to save another his death is never in vain.
