THE LODGER

Kasia (Klaudyna Lewczuk), a student of dance school, lives with her mother (Ewa Kasprzyk) in a large flat. One day her mother rents a room to the lodger – a sports high school student. Kasia and the lodger start to run an original friendship relation – without words and meetings. The film is based on the story by Bogna Hołyńska "Fresh paint" and refers to the Sixth Commandment "You shall not commit adultery." - as a part of film cycle produced within the project „Dekalog 89+”.
