The most touching scenes show the repeated outrages against the girls by the Kurds, an ally outlaw band of the Turks. A "sword game" by this same band shows their brutality.

The girls are tossed high into the air, descendIng upon upright spears, and the final scene shows their bodies on the spears, in view of their mothers. harem as it actually is was portrayed.
