You Won't Be Alone

In the ending of You Won’t Be Alone, Nevena, who has spent her life learning about human emotions and experiences through her various transformations, ultimately seeks a way to break free from her curse of being a witch. She falls in love with Jovan and believes that love and human connection might free her from her transformative curse. When she finally reveals her true self to Jovan, he loves her unconditionally, showing that acceptance and love can transcend appearances. However, her happiness is short-lived. After Jovan’s death at the hands of a disguised Old Maid Maria—who turns into a large boar and kills him—Nevena’s grief pushes her to confront Maria once again. In a desperate attempt to protect her child from Maria’s wrath, Nevena performs the same ritual that granted her immortality, but this time on her daughter. The ritual transforms her infant into a witch with dark claws, revealing that Nevena’s love and desire for human life have come at a steep cost. When Maria appears in her full, vengeful form, she kills the baby in a fit of jealousy and frustration, tormenting Nevena with grief. In a final act of defiance and compassion, Nevena stabs Maria, ending her cycle of vengeance. The film concludes with Nevena holding her daughter, possibly the first physically transformed human-witch, recognizing the complex blend of love, pain, and survival that has shaped her journey. Ultimately, the story suggests that despite her supernatural curse, Nevena’s caring and human emotions persist, and her quest for connection is what gives her the strength to continue living beyond her cursed existence.
