The Enemy
Why this pick
Like No Man’s Land, this Balkan postwar chamber drama traps armed men together, using suspicion, bitter humour and mounting psychological pressure rather than heroic combat.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Two wounded soldiers, a Bosniaks (Čiki, portrayed by Branko Đurić) and a Bosnian Serbs (Nino, portrayed by Rene Bitorajac) are caught between their lines in the no man's land, in a struggle for survival. The two soldiers confront each other in a trench, where they wait for dark. They trade insults and even find some common ground. Confounding the situation is another wounded Bosniak soldier (Cera, portrayed by Filip Šovagović) who wakes from unconsciousness. A land mine had been buried beneath him by the Bosnian Serbs; should he make any move, it would be fatal.
