Moving Lovers sculpture attracts large crowds.
Nothing hurts like a thousand daggers to the heart as a tale of love that fails to meet its happy end. This one here is a real-life representation of two fictional lovers, who get separated at the hands of fate, at the end of a popular 1937 novel Ali and Nino: A Love Story.
Kurban Said, who penned the novel, writes how Ali, a Muslim boy, and Nino, a Georgian princess, fall in love but never unite due to the invasion of the Soviet Union.
