Synopsis:

The death of heroes, the knights of truth and good, leads the Poet to the conclusion that the evil is invincible. Exhausted by struggle and privations, the Poet lays down his arms. He is visited then by all of his favorite heroes. They put out candles by dipping them into a beer cup - a ritual Khevsuri gesture meaning renunciation. And only after seeing what misfortune and harm the rejection of fighting the evil results in, the Poet takes up arms again.

The death of heroes leads a poet to the conclusion that evil is invincible. He lays down his arms until he sees the misfortune and harm resulting from his rejection of fighting evil.
