Plot

The movie follows the journey of two soldiers, one Bosniak named Čiki and a Bosnian Serb named Nino, as they try to navigate their way to freedom stuck between the lines called no man’s land. As they argue and survive the dark hours together, they start discovering common struggles between them. They end up encountering another Bosniak soldier named Cera who has been placed on top of a landmine that would explode if he moves even an inch. With the help of some UN officials, both Čiki and Nino make it out safely. But even after facing such life-threatening challenges together, their differences turn into animosity, which ends in a gruesome way. On the other side, the UN claims that everyone has been rescued from the scene, hiding the fact that Cera was still stuck at the explosive mining site because the landmine could not be diffused. The UN, in order to save its name from tarnish, plays a dirty game in order to get rid of its failure to save Cera. What exactly did the UN do? And what transpired between Čiki and Nino?

Star Performance

The lead actors left no stone unturned in turning this beautiful movie into a masterpiece. Their performance induces the right amount of emotion at the right time. The mixture of anxiety, tension, strength, vulnerability, and unity is brought out onto the screen in a beautiful way.

Analysis

A subtle reference to pieces like Waiting for Godot can be felt by looking at the anxious and impatient duo caught in a trench, waiting for any help to come to them. The fear of hanging between safety and death is low-key evident until the duo is rescued by the UN. The movie showcases the dirty secrets that are usually hidden under the rug, never to be revealed. The use of nature in the background plays a vital role in setting the mood and tone of the phase in the movie. The pair stuck at the no man’s land in a trench display gloom and fear, just like the trenches! Cera stuck in the landmine, on the other hand, leans a bit more towards a certain end for him. The sky above their heads symbolises the freedom that they crave so badly. These details elevate the movie to a whole new level.

What’s There?

  • This tragic yet beautiful watch is not for a leisurely watch until and unless a person is mentally ready.
  • A well-put criticism of international organisations like the UN and the Yugoslavian War.
  • A show of how differences from and hatred for others take control over humans and lead to destruction instead of understanding and peace.
  • A film made from a unique point of view, very unlike other war movies.

What’s Not There?

  • The movie does not throw too much light on the political aspects of the civil war being portrayed, which might lead to initial confusion among the audience.
  • The film focuses more on the hypocritical speeches and acts of organisations like the UN.

Verdict

As a whole, the movie promises to be one of the best war films in the history of entertainment. The use of emotions and background deserves applause. This film is certainly a good watch for the audience that is not fazed by the visuals of war and war-related crimes.
