Mari and Nika decide to stay together and sneak off to a seaside town, intending to stay with Nika’s uncle, who is out fishing. Unable to rent a room due to not being married, Nika gets into a fight at a cafe, where Chiora helps him. They continue their journey with Chiora, who shows interest in Mari. Chiora, a risk-taker, tries to blame a driver for an accident to earn money but accidentally crashes and dies in the hospital. Mari grows bored and, returning to Tbilisi by train with Nika, leaves him in the carriage. In Tbilisi, she meets Mari again, but Mari no longer wants to talk to her.
