Bosnia and Herzegovina during 1993 at the time of the heaviest fighting
between the two warring sides. Two soldiers from opposing sides in the
conflict, Nino and Ciki, become trapped in no man's land, whilst a
third soldier is becomes a living booby trap.
After various skirmishes, two wounded soldiers, one Bosnian and one
Serb, confront each other in a trench in the no man's land between
their lines. They wait for dark, trading insults and even finding some
common ground; sometimes one has the gun, sometimes the other,
sometimes both.
Things get complicated when another wounded Bosnian
comes to, but can't move because a bouncing mine is beneath him. The
two men cooperate to wave white flags, their lines call the UN (whose
high command tries not to help), an English reporter shows up, a French
sergeant shows courage, and the three men in no man's land may or may
not find a way to all get along.
