Warsaw. A taxi driver is washing his car. Jacek, a young, obtuse-looking peasant, is wandering around the town. Piotr, a law student, is preparing for his final exam. Their destinies become entwined when Jacek hails the taxi driver for a lift into the suburbs. There he brutally murders him with a rock. A Short Film About Killing considers societal violence in its many forms through the story of an idealistic young lawyer and the brutal murderer he is called to defend.
