Danis Tanovic's darkly comic satire No Man's Land is the critically acclaimed winner of numerous awards, including both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film and the Best Screenplay award at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. The Bosnian conflict, 1993. Two enemy soldiers, Bosnian Chiki (Branko Djuric) and Serbian Nino (Rene Bitorajac), find themselves stranded together in a trench positioned between enemy lines. Elsewhere in the trench, Cera (Filip Sovagovic), another Bosnian soldier, presumed dead, is lying on a spring-loaded mine. Despite receiving orders not to intervene, frustrated UN Sergeant Marchand (Georges Siatidis) is determined to free the soldiers from their bizarre and dangerous predicament. When an international TV journalist, Jane Livingstone (Katrin Cartlidge), picks up on the story the incident attracts the attention of the world's press turning the tense situation into a media circus. The stakes are raised when, to the astonishment of Chiki and Nino, Cera regains consciousness. If he moves, the booby-trapped mine will explode killing them all.
