What happens

The Collector (Sakupljač - original title) is the first Serbian science fiction television series. The first five episodes were produced and broadcast by Studio B in December 2005, and the further seven episodes were broadcast during 2006. The Collector is based on a story by Zoran Živković who won the World Fantasy Award. All 12 episodes are directed by Marko Kamenica. The episodes can be watched separately, but together they form a coherent story arc, which is linked together by the titular Collector, played by Petar Kralj. Aside from the Collector, there is another character, a different one every episode, who changes his passion for collecting: memory, hope, autographs of dying people, etc. The series is made using minimal special effects, but in the style of The Twilight Zone.
