I'm thinking how happy I am

In the second half of the film, I see Thomas' betrayal again, Teresa's betrayal, and their escape from the real Prague. At the end of the movie, Sabina receives their bad news. It turns out that the country pub night ended with death, and at the end, Thomas said, "I'm thinking about how happy I am". The camera turns to the road, my favorite lush road on both sides, in a bright light, in the play.

Tereza: I was forced to love my mother, but not this dog. You know, Tomas... maybe... maybe, I love her more than I love you. Not more. I mean in a better way. I'm not jealous of her. I don't want her to be different. I don't ask her for anything.
