The Landscape After the Battle film tells a story of two young concentration camp survivors. A young Polish poet (Tadeusz) is asked by a pretty Jewish girl (Nina) to go with her to the West. His camp experience, however, prevents him from realizing the depth of her love for him, and he is reluctant to commit. The woman is accidentally shot dead by an American soldier, causing the poet to cry for the first time in years. The shock of her death brings back the world of feelings suppressed by his Nazi captors, and allows for his original creativity to reemerge.

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.
