What happens
Dekalog: Two (Polish: Dekalog, dwa) is the second part of Dekalog, the drama series of films directed by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski for television, connected to the second imperative of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." Dorota Geller, a married woman, faces a dilemma involving her sick husband's prognosis. Her husband's doctor, who believes in God, is made to swear by his prognosis, but gets it wrong. 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 11 May 1990. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
