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.

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.
