He gets involved in this girl’s family affairs, rescuing both her and her mother from prostitution and gangsters headed by a man called Bajo, and the new group of people return to the small village in time to celebrate Zivojin’s wedding to his neighbor, despite the gangsters’ best efforts to stop the celebration, which results in a double wedding.
