The Decalogue 89+ (Dekalog 89+)
Seeking acceptance in a group of peers playing risky urban games, 17-year-old Anna loses faith in her values. With nothing to lose, she comes up with a game, with which she wants to provoke the group–especially its leader Czarny–to think. In a surprising conclusion of the film, the characters are given a new chance to return to normality. The film corresponds with the Second Commandment: “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.”
