I can't deny that going up and down the Dekalog has been a slog. But they were designed to air over a period of months, not days, and who ever has breezed through them? Anyway by this point I have garnered all there is to from this project so I watched this last one out of obligation more than actual interest.
Thankfully it's the most breezy of the ten. Wisely putting a final sardonic smile to the crushing turns of fate that populate the Dekalogs.
It's satire about greed essentially. Two brothers inherit a fortune from a father they hadn't bothered with while alive, lose more than they bargained for, but in the end leave this with certainty about their bond. A liver may have been lost, but such are the ironic machinations of the Dekalog universe, here rendered for amusement.
