Two burglars, Sergej and Polde, steal a valuable painting called Landscape No.2. Quite by accident, Sergej also steals a mysterious document from the end of the Second World War. Instructor takes over the case of the missing painting and document, and a diabolical mechanism from the past is unleashed. Landscape No.2 builds on the realisation that the unresolved past of a person or nation leaves its mark and keeps coming back. However, its return is a burden for generations which had nothing to do with the past of their fathers and grandfathers, and who even remain untouched by the issue. The film is a story of the post-war execution of Nazi collaborators who were supported by the Catholic Church in their treason. The untold and unreflected past, and the sins of our forefathers haunt us, especially now that the various histories of different nations are being brought together in a common European history.
