The Hornet

A sitcom that follows intertwined lives of three couples set mostly in the building in which they live and the café owned by one of these people.

Nikola, a teacher from Belgrade, accepts a job in the remote mountain village of Gornik, unaware that deep-buried secrets await him there. At the same time, Lucija, an ambitious PhD in anthropology, arrives in the village to investigate a community that claims to be descendants of ancient Celts. However, the locals are not ready for change due to their fears and old legends, a mysterious past, and the suspicious motives of the new arrivals.

Men, women, and war. Jelena Panic is a young woman in Belgrade in the early 1990s, during Serbia's war with Croatia; she's making a book of her grandmother's diaries from the end of World War II. She takes up with Bogdan, a young soldier recovering from war wounds. He helps her with her grandmother's story, a tragic triangle involving her effete and well-educated husband and an uneducated major, a Chekist who has, perhaps, the power to save a political prisoner who is the grandmother's friend. As Jelena wonders which man was her grandfather (the Chekist or the husband), Bogdan recovers from his wounds and must decide whether to return to the front. Jelena pleads; duty calls.
