A hauntingly beautiful masterwork of voyeurism and longing, where a young man's distant obsession with an older woman transcends the glass separating them to become a profound meditation on the nature of intimacy and the pain of love.

Easter Eggs
The Man in White / The Young Man
played by Artur Barciś. He appears in all Dekalog episodes as a silent witness or angel figure. In this film, he appears briefly (often seen with a suitcase or observing), symbolizing fate or a higher moral consciousness watching the characters' choices.
The Milkman Role
Tomek takes a job as a milkman to get closer to Magda. This mirrors the "Man in White" role in other Dekalog episodes where he often performs menial tasks or stands by as a witness to suffering.
