Storyline:
The war consumed nations... But it shattered families.
The sweeping events of World War I are dramatized through the deeply personal lens of the Katić family, whose sons are scattered across battlefields, courtrooms, and political corridors.
Based on Dobrica Ćosić’s acclaimed literary tetralogy, this series explores the devastating effects of war on individuals, ideologies, and identities, intertwining fictional lives with real historical figures and events that shaped modern Serbian and Balkan history.
As borders collapse and bloodlines are tested, Vreme smrti presents a mosaic of suffering, bravery, loss, and national reckoning — a reminder that death doesn’t just come in battle... it comes for entire ways of life.
When history is written in blood... it's the soul of a people that bleeds.
