“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife.”

DramaTV MovieRomance

Roman and Hanka have a loving marriage, but his impotence has led to her having an affair. The unbearable situation drives Roman to extreme measures both physically and mentally, testing their love and his own will to live.

VIBE

A deeply unsettling exploration of marital strain and existential dread. This film feels like a slow descent into psychological turmoil, where love is tested by impotence and despair. It's a heavy, introspective watch.
