His life encompasses the most turbulent period in the history of Balkans and Europe: the twentieth century with its two World Wars, crashes of empires and the previous world order, the emersion of communism - Ivo Andric was an active participant of these large and bloody turmoil that has determined world history and created the world as we know it today. In his work, he described the agonizing history of the Balkans and with his life he showed how one can remain a man in times when people turn into beasts. In a documentary - narrative form, the series simultaneously follow Andric's life path and the history of the Balkans, with numerous archival footage, personal photos, animated maps, kinetic typography, animation, as well as footage of key cities of the former Yugoslavia and Europe (which determined the life and work of this great writer). One of the people talking in the series is the film director Emir Kusturica, to whom Andric has been a role model and artistic inspiration for decades. The great director has raised a city "Andriccity" ("Andricgrad") - in honour of Andric - where some segments of the series were recorded. Besides Kusturica, the director of the Nobel Committee of the Swedish Academy - Odd Zschiedrich also talks in the series, as well as eminent historians, writers and diplomats from Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The documentary series follows Andric's life chronologically, while at the same time it tracks the history of Yugoslav people, Europe and the world in the nineteenth and twentieth century. See less
