Let $AA_1$ be the bisector of a triangle $ABC$. Points $D$ and $F$ are chosen on the line $BC$ such that $A_1$ is the midpoint of the segment $DF$. A line $l$, different from $BC$, passes through $A_1$ and intersects the lines $AB$ and $AC$ at points $B_1$ and $C_1$, respectively. Find the locus of the points of intersection of the lines $B_1D$ and $C_1F$ for all possible positions of $l$. (M. Karpuk)
