What happens

Dekalog: Ten (Polish: Dekalog, dziesięć) is the tenth part of Dekalog, the drama series of films directed by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski for television, connected to the tenth imperative of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not covet." In contrast to the bleak tone of the other episodes in the series, Dekalog X is a black comedy. Two brothers (Jerzy Stuhr and Zbigniew Zamachowski) inherit a valuable stamp collection from their deceased father and soon become consumed and obsessed with their windfall. The brothers find themselves entangled in a series of misadventures as they attempt to understand, protect and expand their newfound fortune. Dekalog: Ten premiered earlier than the other parts of the series, on Polish Television on June 24, 1989. The series was exhibited in its entirety at the 46th Venice International Film Festival in September 1989, in the Special Events section. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
