Three Colours: Blue is the first part of Kieślowski's trilogy which explores the French Revolutionary ideals of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
Blue is the story of Julie who loses her husband, Patrice, an acclaimed European composer, and her young daughter in a car accident. The film's theme of liberty is manifested in Julie's attempt to start life anew free of personal commitments, belongings, grief and love.
She withdraws from the world to live completely independently, anonymously and in solitude in the Parisian metropolis. Despite her intentions, people from her former and present life intrude with their own needs. However, the reality created by the people who need and care about her, the surprising discovery of her husband's mistress, Sandrine, who is carrying his child, and the music around which the story revolves, heals Julie and irresistibly draws her back to her true self, from where her life can once more move forward.
