A “taut Hitchcockian thriller” about an unwitting American who makes a last-minute trip to Sweden to attend the funeral of an old friend — a ranking member of the Nobel Prize selection committee — only to find himself entangled in the complex web of corruption and murder that exists beneath the surface of this rarified world.

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.
