A film we saw, by Athénaîs and Margot.

No Man's Land

SYNOPSIS : In 1993, during the war of Bosnia, two ennemies, a Bosnian and a Serbian soldier, Ciki and Nino, both fall in a No Man's Land. Before that, Nino and another Serbian soldier had put down a Bosnian body on a mine. But the trapped soldier is not dead. Ciki and Nino try to find a solution.
At the same time, a member of the Blue Helmets try to help them, even if his superiors forbids it to him. Some international journalists go on place and try to transform this news item into a media show.The hatred between the two soldiers doesn't cease augmenting.
The superiors of the FORPRONU decide finally to send a mine clearence expert. But he can't do anything.
Ciki and Nino go out of the trench and, using inattention of the Blue Helmets, kill each other. The journalists and the FORPRONU left the place, and let the trapped soldier alone on his mine...


THE FILM : realised by Danis Tanovic in 2001, "No Man's Land" has accepted the "palme d'or" of the best scenario the same year. One of the feature of the film is the languages spoken : the serbocroate, the french, the english, and a little bit of german. It's a hard film, but it's especially very true !

Altough it was a sad film, we both enjoyed it ! =)
