Jacek took out a damaged photo: it was a young girl. It was cold and windy, and he walked into a bar to warm up with a cup of coffee.
The middle-aged man drove the over-cleaned taxi to find customers, bought a lottery ticket on the way, and rejected an alcoholic who wanted to ride...Piot also went to the bar with his girlfriend, and he wanted to celebrate his graduation. . Jacek walked in the door, got into the middle-aged driver's car, and was going somewhere on the outskirts of the city. The car reached the bank of the river, and the surroundings were desolate and silent. Jacek strangled the driver's neck with a rope prepared in advance. In the struggle, he slammed his head with a stone...
In court, Jacek was sentenced to hang. Lawyer Piot wanted to get a lighter sentence for Jacek, but was rejected by the judge.
The gallows were ready, and lawyer Piot had only half an hour to speak with Jacek. From the conversation, Piot learned that eight years ago, Jacek's sister was run over to death by a tractor, and the driver was drunk with Jacek before the incident... "If it wasn't for this reason," Jacek said, "I think, maybe nothing will happen...I won't be here..." The
hanging will be carried out. The executioner swiftly tied the noose for Jacek, who cried out in despair, and started the gallows. Jacek only struggled and twitched, and then died... In
the dark field, a road snaked away, leading to the faint forest in the distance. A shimmer of light flickered and disappeared into the darkness. The tearful Piot slammed the car door hard: "I hate it!" and then shouted hoarsely: "I hate it!"...
The film accurately recorded the two murders in a very cold cinematic way. The planning and execution were equally meticulous and meticulous in the preparation and execution of the hanging. The Ten Commandments of the Bible says: Do not murder! But someone has to carry out the execution to get justice. Maybe this is some kind of "moral dilemma" that the director wants to express?
