Tomek, a mere boy staying with an old woman, whiles away his time watching an artist, a woman, senior to him as regards her age, staying at the apartment just across the street. He tries to scale the wall of viewability & meet her in person in various ways. His success in this regard brings with it an array of emotionally charged-up incidents that leave both the lover & the loved chastened in several ways; even they transpose their positions unwittingly. What comes to the fore are several issues, not to be mistaken as messages, concerning love - both sensual & sensuous - & attraction & loneliness & rightness & wrong et al that are found while browsing though the pages of a heart that's in love. The reflection of the 'Decalogue' is clearly palpable in this long-lurking 'A Short Film About Love', though raised in height than the aforesaid. Precise use of light transfuses into the mood & the silently stealthy aura of the film.
