Time of Violence (Време разделно)

The year is 1668. The Ottoman Empire has long

conquered Eastern Europe

but the Holy War for the total

domination of Islam continues.

The battle rages on for Candia.

Enichars are sent to the Rhodopes - a Bulgarian

mountain of great strategic importance

"Enichar" is the name given to young christian boys

separated by force from their parents,

raised with unimaginable cruelty

and transformed into fanatically faithful soldiers of the Sultan.

I fear not that there are still enemies of the Padishah walking the Earth.

We will crush them just like we crushed the Byzantines, the Bulgarians, the Serbs.

I dread that many of his subjects still worship The Cross.

Only after when a single faith binds us,

only when all fly the holly banner of The Prophet,

only then will we become invincible.

If we fail in this, the world will never belong to us.

What't the matter, Master?

We are there.

Call him.

Qil

Qil

He fell on his back. It's good luck, that is.

That's only when in battle.

It is a battle.

Call him.

Oil Come here!

He must be mad to stand before the Master with his hat on.

Why don't you take your hat off, slave?

Manol. Please, don't!

What is the name of this valley?

Elindenya.

And over there is Chitak. Village Chitak.

Follows Podviz and further down is Luki.

Where is the grave of Enihan Baba,

the conqueror of the Rhodopes?

It's over there, on the top.

Father, go toll the bells!

Wait, we must put your wife's bones in the church.

We can't leave them like this. It's a sin.

If we don't hurry, we will make even a greater sin.

Hurry, Father! I will take them.

Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet.

All glory to you, Enihan Baba!

Turkish cavalary, grandpa Kolio.

They passed the graveyard.

I will call Vraju Kehaya and Velko

You call Merdjana and the others.

Merdjan! Merdjan!

Syakul, where is your father?

He is at home. - Tell him that I will be waiting for him at Stayko's place.

Hurry, dear boy.

How may of them are there, Manol?

Many. We must hide the boys.

You take the upper neighbourhood.

You - lichov's and Prizhari.

Zhelio, you lead them! You know where.

Manol, but they have a list of their names.

That many soldiers. It can't be just for the children.

I say, hide everything - animals, harvest, family..

And be careful.

Hide your knives. The last thing we want is an incident.

Turks! Send the child to Zhelio, he will take the children to the caves.

Get inside! Soldiers!

Dad, where is Mircho?

Haven't seen him today. Why?

An army entered the valley.

I don't think there are any of ours there. They were all regular army. Didn't see any Enichars.

Goran, pour some more in!

Can't you see it's empty?!

I thought they forgot all about us.

Goran, stop it.

What is the matter, dad?

Why are you still standing here?

Go look for the child.

They can't take anything from me anymore.

Mircho!

Where have you been?

I was with Elitsa, in the big pond.

Leave the basket and go home.

Find a task fit for a man!

Who are you?

Who are you?

I am Karaibrahim. I was sent here by the Grand Vezir

These are my men.

I am Master Syuleyman and this valley belongs to me.

Then I have come to see you.

The Vezir sends his regards.

And this letter.

And this letter is for the army commander.

That will be me.

A letter for the local Kadia.

That will be me.

A letter to the imam.

Have you become an imam too?

No. I have an imam.

Hasan imam!

Why do you welcome us like brigands?

Why did you not send any news that you are coming, so that I can welcome you properly?

You will understand after you have read the letters.

Shall we go?

Run!

Do they always run like this when they see you?

A while ago, I came this way to meet you.

None of them ran.

It would seem they are not running away from me.

Elitsa!

What is this?

Nothing. They let the valley know that you have come.

So everyone knows.

Who is he?

Carpenter, foreigner.

Beleiver or infidel?

- Infidel. He's not been around for very long. - Sell him to me.

I have paid 6000 for him. If you want him - he is yours.

Why did you kill him?

To let everyone in the headquarters know that i have arrived.

Do you need any help?

I can do it myself, Goran.

Hurry, Hurry. Come on! Hurry!

I am thinking... you can take the sheep to the upper fields at dawn.

Momchil, did you hear what I just said?

I was hoping to get a chance to stop by at the mill. I have a gift for Elitsa.

Get a chance to see her...

Now is not the time for gifts.

Mircho, be careful.

I want you to take the room next to Syuleiman's.

I want to know everything that's going on in there.

Master!

Did you know? We have to pay for everything.

Syuleyman charges for food and everything.

Bread alone costs 12 aspri.

Consider hay for the animals and all...

Master Syuleyman sent me to tell you that you are all his guests. You will not pay.

Do not be afraid.

This is your mother's hair.

You know that soldiers came today. They will probably take children for Enichars.

They were here when I was your age. Had they taken me,

I would be an Enichar now.

You can't be an Enichar.
