A man lies on his back with his mouth open in a dimly lit, red-hued room. The scene cuts to a chaotic battle in a forest where two men on rearing horses clash, surrounded by soldiers. A close-up shows a bearded man with a bloody eye. The view shifts to a red-tinted, blurry image of tree branches. A woman with a decorative headpiece looks down, with the subtitle "Mitul s-a adevărit." The sequence ends with a man lying on a bed, holding a glass to his mouth, as people gather around him in a dimly lit room.
