Synopsis:

Winner of 9 international awards, including the FIPRESCI Prize at the Venice Film Festival, 1989. Ten stand-alone TV features based on the Ten Commandments. The stories are set round the same Warsaw apartment block and focus on the complexities of human relationships. The themes are the universal ones of love, marriage, infidelity, parenthood, guilt, faith and compassion. The Decalogue's reputation a s a cinematic masterpiece remains undiminished.

This is a series of ten shorts created for Polish Television, with plots loosely based upon the Ten Commandments, directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski. Two of these, Dekalog 5 and 6, are shorter cuts from the feature-length films--Krotki film o zabijaniu (A Short Film About Killing) and Krotki film o milosci (A Short Film About Love), respectively. They deal with the emotional turmoil suffered by humanity, when instinctual acts and societal morality conflict.

Ten television drama films, each one based on one of the Ten Commandments.
