Landscape After the Battle

Landscape After the Battle (Polish: Krajobraz po bitwie) is a 1970 Polish drama film directed by Andrzej Wajda and starring Daniel Olbrychski; telling a story of a Nazi German concentration camp survivor soon after liberation, residing in a DP camp somewhere in Germany.

[1] In most part, the plot revolves around the events depicted in Borowski's short story called "Bitwa pod Grunwaldem" ("The Battle of Grunwald")[2] from his collection This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen.

A young Polish poet, Tadeusz, is asked by a pretty Jewish girl, Nina, to go with her to the West.

Nina is accidentally shot dead by an American soldier, causing Tadeusz 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.
