Year, production: 2001, Bosnia-Herzegovina/Slovenia/
Italy/France/UK/Belgium

Cast: Branko Djuric, Rene Bitorajac, Filip Sovagovic, Georges Siatidis, Serge-Henri Valcke, Sacha Kremer, Alain Eloy, Mustafa Nadarevic, Bogdan Diklic, Katrin Carlidge, ...

Runtime: 98 min.

Action is taken to Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993. At that time there were the heaviest fighting but it is not shown in the movie. Two wounded soldiers Bosnian and Serb has met in a trench in a no man's land between two front lines. They can't go out because they will be shoot. UN soldier wants to help them. The third slodier, Bosnian, is in a big trouble...

This movie sometimes looks to me like a comedy or something like this. This is very european movie, I think.

It shows for example that UN forces that were there didn't do much at that time and it was all about politics and good look in TV.
