Plot
editThe plot of the series is located in occupied Sarajevo during World War II in Yugoslavia. Everyone comes to Hilmija's Inn. From Partisan illegals from the woods, through Chetniks, Ustashas, soldiers of the SS "Handschar", all the way to German soldiers and the commander of the town of Sturmbannführer Schiling.

Cast
editMain cast
edit- Emir Hadžihafizbegović as Hilmija Frlj, a Bosnian Muslim innkeeper who, in order to survive the war, pretends to collaborate with the occupier while secretly aiding the Partisan resistance movement.
- Tarik Filipović as Sturmbannführer Schiling, a naïve German major in charge of Sarajevo. Schiling is secretly gay and terrified of being sent to the Eastern Front.
- Igor Skvarica as Durmiš, a Romani waiter working at Hilmija's inn. Hilmija presents him to Schiling as a Slovene named Janez (later Borut) Prešern, to save him from getting executed.
- Darko Tomović as Portugalac, a Montenegrin Partisan working as a link between Hilmija's inn and the Partisan groups in the forests around Sarajevo. He got his codename after accidentally taking a stop in Portugal while traveling to Spain.
- Almir Kurt as Mustafa Zulfepuštampašić, a Bosnian Muslim quisling working as a chief of Sarajevan police hand in hand with Schilling, who's constantly annoyed with him.
- Marko Cindrić as Krešimir, a Croatian Ustasha soldier who works as a petty criminal.
- Milena Vasić as Rahaela Kohen, a Jewish woman that Hilmija hides in his inn. Hilmija, who is in love with her, presents her as a cook preparing sudžuka for Schiling's breakfasts, under the name of "Ana Vucibatina" in Season 1, then "Darija Hrvatić" in Season 2.
- Ilir Tafa as Agim Rugoba, a Kosovo Albanian working for Chetniks, a Serbian royalist movement. Rugoba uses his Albanian identity as a cover, since nobody would presume that an Albanian is working for Serbs due to their centuries-long tensions. Throughout the series, he has shown particular fondness towards working for the Serbian crown prince.
- Mirjana Jagodić-Marinković as Baba Zorka, an old woman working in the kitchen of Hilmija's inn.
- Adnan Omerović as Krhki, a Partisan with impaired hearing digging a tunnel from the basement of Hilmija's inn to the German weapons warehouse.

Other
edit- Tarik Džinić as young Izet Fazlinović, Hilmija's nephew who works as Schiling's assistant before being recruited to Partisans by a Serb woman Ranka whom he falls in love with and goes on to marry later in his life. Izet is the main protagonist of Lud, zbunjen, normalan, of which Konak kod Hilmije is a spin-off.
- Marko Gvero as Radovan Lepinja, a Chetnik and a drunkard, who's hiding at the Inn until it's safe for him to leave. He has known Hilmija since they came in contact during the First World War, when they were in their respective armies. It happened that Hilmija fell on the ground and broke his ankle, just as Radovan was about to shoot him, but since his weapon was out of ammunition, he chose to carry Hilmija to the infirmary instead.
- Marija Pikić as Azra Frlj, Hilmija's daughter and a fierce anti-fascist. Although being sent for Law studies to Zagreb by Hilmija, she secretly joins the Partisans and hides in the forests around the city.
- Dino Sarija as Ivica Naguzić, a Herzegovinian Croat of flamboyant nature, pretending to be born in Zagreb, when in reality, he is actually from Ljubuški. He is Sturmbannführer Schiling's secret boyfriend, later having revealed to been promoted to head of the Croatian branch of Gestapo, so that no one suspects him of being a homosexual man.
- Emir Kapetanović as Vaso Miskin Crni, a Partisan tasked to seduce Schiling to obtain his city defense plan.
- Jana Stojanovska as Davorjanka Paunović Zdenka, Josip Broz Tito's mistress.
