Sa tante, catholique fervente, prie tandis que son père, universitaire spécialiste d'informatique, fou de douleur, brise l'autel d'une église en construction.

Les dix commandements vus par Krzysztof Kieslowski : Un seul Dieu tu adoreras, Tu ne commettras point de parjure, Tu respecteras le jour du Seigneur, Tu honoreras ton père et ta mère, Tu ne tueras point, Tu ne seras pas luxurieux, Tu ne voleras pas, Tu ne mentiras pas, Tu ne convoiteras pas la femme d'autrui, Tu ne convoiteras pas les biens d'autrui.
