“Thou shalt not kill.”

DramaTV MovieCrime

Jacek, an angry drifter, murders a taxi driver, brutally and without motive. His case is assigned to Piotr, an idealistic young lawyer who is morally opposed to the death penalty, and their interactions take on an emotional honesty that throws into stark relief for Piotr the injustice of killing of any kind.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching examination of capital punishment. This film feels heavy, forcing viewers to confront the brutal realities of violence and the complex, often contradictory nature of justice. It’s a stark, thought-provoking experience.
