Dekalog consists of 10 short films accomplished in the period (2009-2021) plus an unpublished manifest and epilogue. This film is dedicated to all the friends, artists and technicians who helped me to put the decalogue on the screen.

Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.

The story of J. Robert Oppenheimer's role in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II.
