The eight-episode series follows the life of the writer Ivo Andrić during several months in the fall and winter of 1961, from the moment he found out he had won the Nobel Prize until he returned from the award ceremony, via Switzerland, to Belgrade. Each of the episodes has two parallel streams of narration: one, related to the year 1961, in which we follow Andrić's preparations for going to Stockholm, and the second, a subjective jump back to the past. Andrić's view of the key moments of his own life, which were almost always the key moments of the country where he lived and lives, the encounters and decisions he made, is full of questioning, doubts and re-evaluation. Through eight episodes, the most important, well-known and less well-known, paths that Andrić walked, the faces that surrounded him and the places where he lived during the winter of 1961 and throughout his life are revealed and followed.

S1.E1Nobel Prize
On October 26, 1961, news arrived that Andrić had received the Nobel Prize for Literature. While receiving telegrams and congratulations, Andrić recalls the past, returning to the time of the Allied bombing and the struggle for the liberation of Belgrade in 1944, when he lived in Prizrenska Street, with his friend and lawyer Brana Milenković and his sister Kaja. That period was marked by fruitful creativity and his secret love with Milica Babić. In the atmosphere of uncertainty of the first days of the liberation of Belgrade and the beginning of the creation of socialist Yugoslavia, Andrić goes through ethical dilemmas and accusations from the citizens of Belgrade that he betrayed his friends and conscience. Andrić then, when his characteristics are under the scrutiny of the new regime, meets Đilas, Zogović and other writers in partisan uniforms.

S1.E2Alliance
The Nobel Prize drew attention not only to the works of Ivo Andrić, but also to his biography. The reputation of the winner of the greatest prize in the world is also the reputation of the country from which he comes. State services, tasked with ensuring that reputation, are reviewing a video from a military parade in Berlin in 1940, where Andrić, then a diplomat of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, is seen in the immediate vicinity of Hitler. In the writer's house, the phone doesn't stop ringing and Andrić feels that his whole life so far is exposed to the views and comments of the public. He goes back to the post-war years, to the founding assembly of the Association of Writers, the Belgrade meeting with Krlež, conversations with Isidora Sekulić. In 1945, Nenad Jovanović, Milica Babić's husband, returns from the Dachau camp, and Andrić goes to Bulgaria for the Meeting of Balkan Writers.
