III. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY

III. PAMIĘTAJ, ABYŚ DZIEŃ ŚWIĘTY ŚWIĘCIŁ

A film from the Decalogue series. In a few months Staś is going to take his First Communion. It is an intensive period of preparations, spiritual and material ones. Each person in the family experiences it differently. Grandparents, parents and the very hero. On such occasions a generation gap becomes apparent. Life goes on in its own rhythm; the time of the holiday is approaching…Insightful observation with "a patient eye" of the camera that the director points at his family and – obviously – at himself.
