Set amid the heaviest fighting between Bosnian and Serbian forces, two wounded soldiers are stranded in 'No Man's Land'. One a Bosnian and the other a Serb are forced to join forces as both sides are firing at them. No Man's Land is a poignant and darkly humorous look at war and deservedly won the Best Foreign Language Oscar in 2001.
