Description

Kasia (Klaudyna Lewczuk), a student of dance school, lives with her mother (Ewa Kasprzyk) in a large flat. One day her mother rents a room to the lodger – a sports high school student. Kasia and the lodger start to run an original friendship relation – without words and meetings. The film is based on the story by Bogna Hołyńska "Fresh paint" and refers to the Sixth Commandment "You shall not commit adultery." - as a part of film cycle produced within the project „Dekalog 89+”. Marcin Bortkiewicz is one of the ten young directors which has taken the challenge of making new film on the Decalogue Commandment's impact for young generations, due to the project made on 20th anniversary of launching the famous "Decalogue" by Krzysztof Kieślowski.
