Dekalog (Sins 5 and 6)

WAFS invites you this Sunday 8th of February to see the screening of two episodes of the legendary "Dekalog" by Krzysztof Kieślowski.

Synopsis:

The premise of the Dekalog is to take the 10 commandments and narrate a short story based on each of them. Rather than plainly exploring the consequences of breaching each commandment, the stories explore the many aspects of the human condition with a humane eye.

The following episodes are based on the commandments: "Thou shalt not Kill" and "Thou shalt not commit Adultery". Both were made into feature films: "A short film about Killing" and "A short film about Love".
