What happens

Dekalog: Six (Polish: Dekalog, sześć) is the sixth part of Dekalog, the drama series of films directed by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski for television, possibly connected to the sixth imperative of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not commit adultery." A naive young man, Tomek (Olaf Lubaszenko), spies on a woman, Magda (Grażyna Szapołowska), and falls in love with her. An extended 86-minute feature version of this film is called Krótki film o miłości (A Short Film About Love). The ten-part Dekalog series was exhibited in its entirety at the 46th Venice International Film Festival in September 1989, in the Special Events section. Dekalog: Six premiered on Polish Television on 8 June 1990. Along with Dekalog: Five, the film screened in the Cannes Classics section at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
