Decalogue VIII
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski
Produced by Sender Freies Berlin, Telewizja Polska
A morally rigorous, intimate confrontation between an ethics professor and a Holocaust survivor's daughter, forcing a reckoning with complicity and the gap between principle and action.
Zofia, a professor of ethics, is visited by Elżbieta, an American researching the fate of Jews who survived World War II. A daytime classroom conversation turns into a night of confrontation, and Zofia is forced to answer for a decision she made decades ago that directly affected the course of Elżbieta’s life.
