The territory is similar to 'No Man's land' the Bosnian drama that tripped Amir Khan's 'Lagaan' to win the Best Foreign Film Oscar. Unfortunately there's little depth in the drama, the conflict is poorly structured and the ensuing experience is just not affecting.

The anti-war theme the short runtime the stagey enactment of convenient brotherhood makes for a febrile enchantment. But the lack of depth and tension poor exposition and development leave you disappointed as well!
