'''''There is no Human's Land''' occurs as war drama that is placed in the thick of the Bosnian war in 1993. These are the bleakly funny parable packed with irony. A film marked a debut of writer & director Danis Tanović. There is no Human's Land has been in comparison Catch-22, M*A*S*H and Waiting for Godot'' for containing equal parts of irony & futility.

Confounding a situation occurs as a second injured Bosnian Muslim soldier (Čera, played by Filip Å ovagović) who wakes from either unconciousness. The landmine had been buried beneath him per Bosnian Serbs. Should he produce any move, it would exist as deadly.
