Synopsis: 
The Dekalog is a ten-episode television series, each focusing on one of the Ten Commandments of the Bible. The stories are set in contemporary Warsaw, with all the characters living in the same big housing estate who are caught in the ethical struggles of everyday life. This masterwork by Krzysztof Kieślowski is one of the twentieth century’s greatest achievements in visual storytelling. Its ten hour-long films, drawing from the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, grapple deftly with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth, and the passage of time. Shot by nine different cinematographers, with stirring music by Zbigniew Preisner and compelling performances from established and unknown actors alike, Dekalog arrestingly explores the unknowable forces that shape our lives.

白雪皚皚中，人因何而生，又將如何而死？《十誡》本屬電視製作，但大師一出手即技驚四座，成為揚名國際之作。奇斯洛夫斯基不作基督教教義上的贅述，而是用十個各自獨立的故事，演繹十種人性困境，藉此一窺現代社會的道德焦慮。更有一位沉默的神秘男子穿梭各個故事裡，靜靜旁觀著人們在愛與妒、罪與罰中掙扎不已，為無窮慾望而手舞足蹈，為無端厄運而憤恨咒罵，為無常命運而懊悔痛哭，十個故事以同一個屋邨為背景，在九位風格不同的攝影師或凝練或深情的鏡頭下，生命如同那屋簷上緩緩融化的雪水，短暫而脆弱。天意難測，肉體終會消弭，信仰是上帝的憐憫，還是個體的慰藉？高度發展的現代社會是人類智慧的榮光，還是自取滅亡的笑話？一切在希望中宛如新生，又在沈默中歸於寂滅，沒有答案。
