How well do you know your enemy? Is he something really different like another species or an alien? Is he someone just like you or your brother? Can anybody give the actual reason or the one who is responsible? Is it really possible to love your enemy? “No Man's Land” is all about these questions and more.

Two enemy soldiers one a Serb and the other a Bosnian happens to be caught in a trench that lies between their line, the no man’s land, along with another wounded Bosnian soldiers lying on a bouncing mine. They are in the middle of a war and they knew they can’t be friends. They have to help each other for their escape. Owing to a television report UN comes in to the scenario for helping them out. But is it possible for two enemy soldiers to behave just like two men who are in need of help, could someone be literally neutral in the phase of a war or will they have their own reasons.

Danis Tanovic ‘s superb script and direction balances humor, emotion, drama, and some insights without loosing the originality. The cinematography and background music are combined wonderfully to create some powerful images that will last in your memory for days. “No Man's Land” is not a war movie but it is all about war.
