- Macedonia is a small country, in the heart of the Balkans, which for five centuries was under the yoke of the Ottoman Empire. The action of the film "To the Hilt" takes place in the years of the general collapse and "free fall", after the Macedonian uprising of 1903 which was extinguished in blood. The story is a love quadrangle between an uncompromising idealist rebel, a merciless Turkish officer, an opportunist rich man's son returning home after his studies in Europe and a lucid and open minded European woman, who flirts with the three men and puts in train a series of events with dire consequences, that she could hardly imagine. The characters go through turbulent collisions which lead them to cathartic experiences and new self-awareness. The film is a harsh and romantic story in which the eternal Macedonian cause for own identity and independence is seen through the prism of relativity of the ideas of freedom, justice, love, sacrifice, and treason. The story dramatizes and parodies the myth and anti-myth of East and West, of Europe and the Balkans. It leads to a boiling point the paradoxes and absurdities of Macedonian history.

He has to serve his detention at the address on his ID card, which is the apartment where his still-married wife Vera and her boyfriend Mete live now. The coexistence of the three is a strange symbiosis in which the goals of the three inhabitants of the apartment alternately confront, but also overlap: Tome wants to get freedom but also for Vera to return to him; Vera wants Tome to be freed and not to have any of his property seized, so that immediately after that they get divorced and get married to Mete. Mete is fine with this, it suits Tome to stay in detention and not to divorce Vera. A love triangle becomes a pentagon, once in it you will the neighbor Suze and the lawyer Taki intervene. Suze is in love with Mete, and Taki is in love with Suze. Mete is only interested in Vera, as is Tome. Tome's battle for "freedom" is a long journey in the labyrinths of the absurd and corrupt Macedonian judiciary. The fact that he himself is corrupt sometimes makes the path to "justice" easier, other times more difficult. His main partner in this battle, the lawyer Yole, sometimes helps thanks to the established legal family he belongs to, other times he denies that the man has no relation to the law as such. He retains the lawyer until the end of the process, primarily because he is provided (and paid) by his father-in-law Stevo, the mentor who helped him achieve everything in life. After many vicissitudes, Tome finally manages to bribe the right people and the detention measure is lifted. That's the end of season 1, but not the end of the inspector's troubles, because only the measure, not the charge, was abolished.
