Three Colours: White is the second part of Kieślowski's trilogy which explores the French Revolutionary ideals of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
White is the story of Karol, a Polish hairdresser who has won several international awards. He has married a beautiful French model, Dominique, and come to live with her in Paris. Karol loves his beautiful wife to obsession but she is divorcing him for his inability to consummate their marriage.
Dominique humiliates Karol and reduces him to the life of a homeless métro beggar where he meets fellow countryman Mikolaj, who helps him return to Warsaw to start afresh. There Karol begins rebuilding his material life from nothing, whilst fighting to resolve his deep passion for Dominique and plotting his revenge to achieve equality – only to have his final triumph eclipsed in an unexpected way.
