What happens
Dekalog: Nine (Polish: Dekalog, dziewięć) is the ninth part of Dekalog, the drama series of films directed by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski for television, connected to the ninth imperative of the Ten Commandments: "thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife". A man who has become impotent (Piotr Machalica) discovers that his wife (Ewa Błaszczyk) has a lover. A minor character in this film, a young singer with a heart condition, inspired Kieślowski's and Piesiewicz's next film, The Double Life of Véronique. 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: Seven premiered on Polish Television on 29 June 1990. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
