After various skirmishes, two wounded soldiers, one Bosnian and one Serb, confront each other in a trench in the no man's land between their lines. Th...ey wait for dark, trading insults and even finding some common ground; sometimes one has the gun, sometimes the other, sometimes both. Things get complicated when another wounded Bosnian comes to, but can't move because a bouncing mine is beneath him. The two men cooperate to wave white flags, their lines call the UN (whose high command tries not to help), an English reporter shows up, a French sergeant shows courage, and the three men in no man's land may or may not find a way to all get along. Show More

Ingenmansland, a 2001 movie, tells the story of two wounded soldiers, one Bosnian and one Serb, who find themselves in a tense situation in a trench in the no man's land between their opposing lines. As they await the cover of darkness, the soldiers engage in verbal exchanges, expressing their animosity towards each other while also discovering some unexpected commonalities.

The situation becomes more complex when a third wounded Bosnian soldier joins them but is unable to move due to a bouncing mine beneath him. In a surprising turn of events, the two enemies temporarily put aside their differences and work together to signal for help by waving white flags. They call upon the UN for assistance, but the high command seems reluctant to get involved.

As the tension escalates, an English reporter arrives on the scene, adding another layer of complexity to the predicament. However, amidst the chaos, a French sergeant demonstrates immense courage in an attempt to resolve the fraught situation in no man's land.

Ingenmansland explores themes of war, forgiveness, and the shared humanity that can emerge even in the most dire circumstances. With its gripping storyline and compelling characters, this thought-provoking film sheds light on the complexities of conflict and the potential for compassion amidst chaos.
