Tomek est un adolescent de 15 ans vivant dans une famille pauvre d'une petite ville polonaise près de la frontière allemande. Il voudrait bien se payer de beaux vêtements, un téléphone ou un ordinateur, mais il n'a pas d'argent. Il rencontre Marta, dont il tombe amoureux et son besoin d'argent devient encore plus pressant. Un jour, il est mis dans la confidence par un copain : l'argent qui lui manque, il peut se le procurer par la prostitution auprès des allemands qui passent la frontière. Un réseau dirigé par un souteneur peu scrupuleux le prend en charge, mais il n'a pas évalué le danger de cette vie.

Pan Tadeusz is told in flashbacks as the author, Adam Mickiewicz, reads his work to a group of elderly exiles in Paris. The story takes place over the course of five days in 1811 and one day in 1812 in rolling landscapes of Lithuania inhabited by Poles whose homeland has been recently partitioned among Russia, the Austrian Empire and Prussia. Not far off in history looms Napoleon's invasion of Russia, the prospect of which heartens Poles yearning for liberation. But more immediately, the characters in Pan Tadeusz are feuding among themselves.

The film is set during the course of one day. Anne (Juliette Binoche) is trying to meet the deadline for her article about prostitution, while shopping and preparing dinner for her husband's boss and his wife. She is also worried about her two sons, the eldest of whom has been skipping classes while the younger appears to start being hooked on video games. This narrative is interrupted by the flashbacks to the conversations Annie has had with the two students, scenes from their lives, and the effect that their work in the sex industry is having on them and those close to them.

In 1919 Latvia, a detachment of German Freikorps soldiers is stationed in a chateau in the town of Kratovice to fight Bolshevik guerrillas. The chateau is the home of the soldier Konrad de Reval and his sister Sophie de Reval. Sophie is attracted to another soldier, a close friend of Konrad's named Erich von Lhomond. However, the reticent Erich rebuffs her advances. In retaliation, Sophie has trysts with other members of the military troop. Erich is noticeably angered by her behavior. Eventually, Sophie learns that Erich and Konrad are lovers. After this discovery, she joins the leftist guerrillas, whom she had been in contact with previously. Erich's soldiers capture her and her comrades. Sophie asks that Erich execute her himself, and he obliges. In a striking single tracking shot, we see Erich casually shoot Sophie in the head before joining in a photo with the other soldiers. As all board a train, the camera pans back to the corpses of the executed.

Irak, avril 2004. Officiellement, la guerre est terminée, mais d'âpres combats se poursuivent dans les villes à majorité sunnite. Falloujah, haut lieu de la révolte, est assiégée depuis deux semaines par les troupes américaines, et la situation humanitaire y est catastrophique. Les réserves alimentaires s'épuisent, l'unique hôpital est pilonné, et il devient difficile de soigner les blessés. Profitant d'un cessez-le-feu de 24 heures, Kim, collaboratrice d'une organisation humanitaire, et le médecin Alain Laroche se mettent en route vers Falloujah afin de livrer du matériel médical d'urgence. Oliver, jeune et ambitieux reporter de la télé allemande, accompagne le convoi, certain de réaliser, depuis la ville coupée du monde, le scoop de sa vie. Son cameraman plus expérimenté, Ralf, considère que l'opération est bien trop risquée.

C'est l'histoire amère d'un homme d'âge moyen, qui déteste sa vie et les autres, y compris lui-même. Adam Miauczynski, le personnage connu des films précédents du réalisateur Marek Koterski, est un enseignant de 44 ans, qui lit de la poésie pendant les cours et rentre plus tard chez lui en jurant et en appelant les noms de ses voisins. La pire douleur pour lui, ce sont les 5 prochaines minutes de vie. Il ne s'accepte pas et même les contacts quotidiens avec les autres provoquent son agressivité. Bien qu'il rêve constamment d'un amour romantique, il n'est pas assez audacieux pour réaliser ses rêves. Le désespéré Miauczynski personnalise nos propres peurs et obsessions, devenues si visibles ces derniers temps.
