After the Germans shot the Italians, Captain Corelli was still alive.
"Shoot me, come on, shoot me", Antonio says, but his "friend" Gunther can't do what Antonio is asking. He just leaves, walks away.
Few hours later, Mandras and the Greek soldiers come to look survivors from the house. Mandras notices, that Antonio is barely alive.
"Any survivors?", Mandras' friend asks and Mandras just shakes his head as a sign of no. He still hesitates a while. The Greeks leave and leave Antonio to die.
In the next morning, Mandras comes to see beautiful Pelagia. Pelagia is crying and when she hears the steps outside the house, she rans to see, who there is. She is a little bit disappointed, when she sees Mandras. She still hugs him, even though it doesn't feel the same as hugging Antonio.
"Did you find any survivors?", Pelagia asks with a tear in her eye corner. Mandras still shakes his head. Pelagia bursts in to tears.
Few weeks later Pelagia is depressed. He is thinking why Antonio agreed to give his weapons away. Mandras has asked Pelagia to marry him, but she hasn't gave an answer to him. Life goes on on the island, but Pelagia has changed. She's taking care of Lemoni and her father. Inside Pelagia is broken. Days turn to weeks, weeks turn into months and months to years. Mandras asks everyday, has Pelagia decided already. And Pelagia doesn't give a good answer.
Pelagias father knows, that her sorrow is killing her inside. She really loved Antonio Corelli. Also Pelagias father feels some sorrow, but not as deep as Pelagia.
