和奇斯洛夫斯基全套《十誡》影片中的大部分故事一樣,這是個拯救與救贖的故事。這部放映時間長度不足一小時的短片中,事件持續的時間也不過一周而已。在這一周時間裏,女主人公朵拉面對的是丈夫的生死和腹中情人胎兒的取捨。編導用這樣兩種情況來表明自己的觀念:一個是天命,一個是人事。只要人力所及之處,都要極盡人事,不留遺憾;而無法左右的天命不要影響人的抉擇。而影片的另一更重要的主題不得妄用天主聖名,主要是針對片中老醫生出於人道主義精神而作出的病情回答。
對於朵拉來說,病倒的丈夫和腹中的胎兒,代表著兩種難以相容的選擇。如果丈夫活下來,那她就要拿掉和情人懷的孩子,但那表示她很可能再也無法懷孕了;而如果她拿掉孩子而丈夫也死去的話,那她就失去了一切。這的確是個忠貞與愛情、生命與道德的極端兩難的問題,也難怪朵拉希望把決定權交給上帝,至少是她眼中上帝的代言人——那位老醫生。她不斷向老醫生追問結果,只是結果,至少是一個結果。她需要的是一個上帝,哪怕是暫時的、代言的、虛妄的上帝。而對於老醫生來說,多年的經驗告訴他,他不是神,沒有人能夠預知生命的奇跡,猜測“上帝”的決定。
不無寓意的是,在病床上昏迷不醒的丈夫,原本是一位登山運動員,而現在這個男人卻毫無知覺地等待著上帝的垂憐。他的昏迷是突如其來的,不僅醫生束手無策,甚至根本不知病源,影片營造的狀況對這個試圖征服自然的人未嘗不是一種悲哀的惋惜。
當老醫生知道朵拉的困境時,痛苦之中他意識到,等待他拯救的,已經不是朵拉丈夫的生命——那已經是上帝的事了,而真正等待他拯救的是一個女人腹中的小生命和她的生活信念。然而對病情的妄加判斷,無異於濫用天主之名,何況病情還似乎有好轉的可能呢?朵拉決定與情人分手、打掉孩子,而在最後關頭,老醫生終於對她說:“不要打胎,他快要死了!”
這又是個違背戒條的故事,但老醫生的決定卻拯救了一對男女、一個家庭,也使自己得到解脫和救贖。老醫生一直在向替他打掃的老女人講述著自己的夢,在夢中他的家庭是那麼美好,而現實生活中的老人獨自生活,而且又是那麼孤獨、冷漠、難以溝通。直到最後一個早上,老醫生已經決定了要以上帝的名義幫朵拉留住孩子,他講的夢很短:他下班後回家,發現家已經沒了,那個地方被炸成了大坑。可以想像的戰爭悲劇,正是因此,老醫生才成了現在這個樣子。當他在生命與道德之間作出了自己抉擇,他久久不願面對的生命傷口也豁然之間得到了救贖,使他能夠正視自己生命中的悲痛時刻——救人者必先自救。
當然,影片中正面得到拯救的是那一對夫婦,在影片結尾處,好轉的丈夫走進老醫生的工作室,向他道謝,並說:“這個世界是如此的崩落,沒有一樣不是面目猙獰地活著,不忍卒睹,仿佛有人惡意施為,所以我並不眷戀這個世界。而現在,我卻可以碰到一張桌子。——還有,我們快要有孩子了。你知道孩子代表的意義嗎?”之所以把這幾句對話臺詞盡錄於此,實在是全片的精華全部濃縮在這幾句精彩的臺詞之中,令人生髮無盡感慨!
影片中,基斯洛夫斯基仍舊體現出他對於物體的特殊興趣和隱喻手法。朵拉焦急之中扯落的幾片葉子,無奈之中凝視著一隻杯子推下桌去摔碎,丈夫病床邊一隻從果醬中掙扎爬出的蜜蜂,這些近乎下意識的凝視傳遞著人物的內心世界和造物主的神奇。想想維羅尼卡手中的玻璃球、《藍色》中那一杯滾熱的咖啡,基斯洛夫斯基正是以這樣一種割裂、恍惚而又神秘的視點,建構了自己的電影世界。

The Decalogue - Two (Polish: Dekalog, dwa) is the second part of the television series
The Decalogue by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski.
Dorota Geller, a married woman, faces a dilemma involving her sick husband's prognosis. Her husband's doctor, who believes in God, is made to swear by his prognosis, but gets it wrong.
Plot
The episode focuses on two people: an elderly doctor (Aleksander Bardini), who lives alone in the ubiquitous Dekalog apartment block and works in a local hospital; and Dorota Geller (Krystyna Janda), a violinist with the Philharmonic Orchestra, who is in her 30s and lives in the same building.
The doctor lost his family during the war and has remained a bachelor ever since. He spends his free time raising plants and birds in his house and telling bits of his life story to his cleaning lady, Barbara.
The doctor meets Dorota coming out of the lift one day, as she is smoking a cigarette by the window. She apparently wants to talk to him, but is not courageous enough at first. The doctor goes out to buy milk and runs across Dorota again, since she has not moved from the spot where they met earlier that morning. She follows the doctor to his apartment. She asks him if he remembers her - he does, because she in fact ran over the doctor's dog with her car two years ago. After this unpleasant beginning of conversation, Dorota reveals what she urgently wants a prognosis of her husband's condition, who is seriously ill in hospital. The doctor is reluctant to do so, saying that Dorota has to come to the hospital during visiting hours, and closes his door. He then takes pity on her and asks her to come to the hospital later that day. He asks for Andrzej Geller's file. Later that day Dorota comes in and the doctor tells her that Andrzej is very ill and that things are not looking good, but he also says that in his experience patients with even less chances than him have recovered, so his prognosis is very reserved.
Dorota does not give up and visits the doctor at his apartment again. She reveals important information: she is pregnant but not by her husband, and this could be her last chance to get pregnant. She wants to know if Andrzej will live. She has decided that if he dies, she will carry to term - if he survives, she will abort. The doctor suddenly finds himself in a situation to decide on the life of others. He takes a keen interest in Andrzej's case and conducts many studies. Dorota is having a lot of problems of her own. She goes to the gynaecologist and schedules an abortion anyway. She also meets with an acquaintance of her lover's, also a musician who is on tour. She receives a passport from her lover and a request to bring some scores along when she joins him abroad. She also angrily confronts an alpinist friend of her husband's who has come to return Andrzej's mountaineering gear to her, telling him that Andrzej is still alive and that his gear belongs in the mountaineering club. The team will be leaving for India, probably to climb Mount Everest.
In an ambiguous scene in a laboratory, the doctor seems to come to the conclusion that Andrzej's disease is progressing (although the scene seems to suggest that Andrzej could be recovering). Dorota tells him that he does not escape liability by his reserved prognosis and that she is going to have an abortion the following day. He tells her not to go ahead with the abortion because Andrzej is dying. She has him swear by his prognosis, which he does.
In a typically "Kieślowskiesque" scene, Andrzej opens his eyes and sees a bee miraculously swimming out of a glass with strawberries that Dorota had brought to him. Andrzej stands up and goes to the doctor's office. The doctor says that he is surprised (although he doesn't look it) that he recovered. Andrzej says that he came back from "beyond" and is happy to have a baby with Dorota. He asks the doctor if he understands what it means to have a child, to which the doctor (evidently getting emotional) replies, 'I do'.
