Synopsis

WINNER Best Foreign Language Film, 74th Annual Academy Awards®

One morning in June 1993, Èiki (Branko Djuriæ), a Bosnian soldier, finds himself in a trench in the middle of no man's land, after a skirmish with Serbs. Two Serb soldiers sent to check out the situation get trapped with him and his wounded buddy Cera (Filip ?ovagoviæ). There is no way out without being shot. The Serbs booby trap the wounded Cera so he can't move. When the younger Serb soldier, Nino (Rene Bitorajac), equalises the stand off with Èiki, he and his former neighbour - now on the opposing side - try to survive in the midst of an insane situation in a hideous war. Journalist Jane Livingstone (Katrin Cartlidge) triggers the involvement of UN peacekeepers led by a well-meaning but frustrated Sgt Marchand (Georges Siatidis) - to little avail.
