Plot

Synopsis
Two wounded soldiers, a Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) (Ciki, portrayed by Branko Ðuric) and a Bosnian Serb (Nino, portrayed by Rene Bitorajac) are caught between their lines in the no man's land, in a struggle for survival. The two soldiers confront each other in a trench, where they wait for dark. They trade insults and even find some common ground. Confounding the situation is another wounded Bosniak soldier (Cera, portrayed by Filip Šovagovic) who wakes from unconsciousness. A land mine had been buried beneath him by the Bosnian Serbs; should he make any move, it would be fatal.

A French sergeant (Marchand, portrayed by Georges Siatidis), of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), gets involved in effort to help the three trapped soldiers, despite initial orders to the contrary by high command. UNPROFOR's mission in Bosnia was to guard the humanitarian aid convoys, to remain neutral and act as a mere bystander. Luckily, an English reporter arrives on scene, bringing media pressure to bear that moves the UN high command to swing in to action to try to save the soldiers.

A row between the stressed out and fatigued Ciki and Nino gradually escalates and finally results in both being killed, even after being rescued. And when it is found that the mine cannot be defused, the UNPROFOR high command tries to save face and Cera is left desolate.
