It focuses on the residents of a housing complex in post-Communist Poland, whose lives become subtly intertwined as they face emotional dilemmas that are at once deeply personal and universally human. Using the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, the ten hour-long films deftly grapple with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth, and the passage of time.

Complicated Classic submitted by AGAPHD on June 21, 2020, 12:19pm This is an amazing collection. Excellent reflection on communist Poland, but also on the human condition more generally. Recommended!
