Salaš u Malom Ritu (English: A Farm in Mali Rit) is a Yugoslav TV series, that was very popular in former Yugoslavia, base on eponymous novel of Arsen Diklić, with Slavko Štimac in main role. The show spawns two TV films, Salaš u Malom Ritu and Zimovanje u Jakobsfeldu (Wintering in Jacobsfeld). The show follows adventures of Milan Maljević, a teenager from fictional Banatian village called Mali Rit (Little Swamp) during World War II. Mali Rit is seemingly peaceful village, whose inhabitants doesnt resist to German occupation. In fact, partisans refrain from attacking the village, used as a secret base, cause they didnt want to bring it to German attention. Peaceful life is only occasionally disturbed only by commander of small German barrack in the village. However, everything in changed once when partisan saboteurs set fire on wheat destined to be transferred to Germany in a neighboring village. As act of reprisal, members of Deutsche Mannschaft take as hostages several men from that village. The Lorry stops in Mali Rit. Vasa, Milans neighbor and best friend, angered by fact that everybody seemingly is scarred by Germans, gives water to the hostages, after the German commander beats him. In order to get revenge, Vasa decides to set fire to the wheat intended for Germany, hoping that Germans, who guarded the wheat, will share the same fate as the hostages. Unfortunately to him, Gestapo agent Georg Schitzer arrives in the village . Shcitzer soon became suspicious on loyalty of village people, cause Mali Rit is first village in which there was no anti-German activity prior to this fire. Soon he discovers a network of partisan agents in the village, among them are the owner of local tavern, local barber and Vasas father. Convinced that he will scratch under the surface, Schitzer decides to take hostages (Paja, the owner of the tavern is shot at 6:00). Fearing for life of her son, Milans mother decides to go in search for partisans to ask them to attack Mali Rit and liberate all hostages. The Partisans liberate all the hostages, and Milan and Petar join them. In second part of the show, Milan and Petar are with partisans, who are preparing for approaching winter. They will seek new shelter on other side of Danube, but this venture is too dangerous for young Milan, who doesnt want to be separated from his brother. So partisan commander decides to give Milan special assignment: to go to his mother and spend winter with her, taking with him a newcomer, rebellious teen called Raša. On the trip, Raša became seriously ill, and Milan goes in neighboring Volksdeutscher village called Jacobsfeld. He finds a job as servant of respected land owner Jacob Jerich. During night Milan goes in hut where he hides Raša, bringing him food. Later he hides Raša in Jerichs stable. Jacob gradually begun to see Milan as his son and plans to adopt him, under condition that Milan give up his non-German origin. In meantime, Šlog, a partisan agent from the city learns, that runaway Raša is somewhere in Jacobsfeld and believes he is captured by Germans, so he begin to plot how to take Raša out. Unknowing to him, his endeavor might blow Milans cover.
