With surgical precision and caustic humor, Danis Tanović lays bare the absurdity of war and exposes the hypocrisy of international politics in one of the most important films about the Yugoslav civil war, winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Synopsis

During the Bosnian War, two soldiers from opposing sides find themselves trapped in a trench in the middle of the combat zone. Alongside them lies a third soldier, wounded and immobilized atop a landmine. When the media and peacekeeping forces become entangled in the negotiations, time begins to run out for everyone.
