Polish comedy drama written and directed by Wojciech Marczewski. Set during the latter days of Poland's communist regime in the 1980s, the film centres around a lonely government censor (Janusz Gajos). When actors refuse to speak their lines during a screening of the romantic drama 'Daybreak', the censor is called across the street to restore order to the Liberty Cinema. After he fails, top communist officials are brought in to silence the errant actors, but will they be able to succeed?
The second part of Krzysztof Kieslowski's trilogy based on the ideals embodied in the French national flag. Karol Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski) is a Polish hairdresser living in Paris. He has just been divorced and kicked out onto the streets by his beautiful young wife Dominique (Julie Delpy). Whilst begging on the Metro, Karol is befriended by his fellow countryman Mikolaj, who agrees to smuggle him back to Warsaw in a trunk. Once home Karol begins to rebuild his life, and, by cunning means, starts to make enormous profits in Poland's new free-market system. He then puts his newly-acquired wealth to use, and starts to enact a complex plan to bring Dominque back into his life.

Three Colours White, a very funny and ironic black comedy, is the second film in Krzysztof Kieslowski's acclaimed trilogy based on the three ideals of the French Revolution. Karol, a Polish hairdresser, is divorced by his beautiful French wife Dominique and thrown onto the streets of Paris, penniless and with no passport. All seems lost until he meets a fellow Pole who ingeniously smuggles Karol back to Warsaw in a suitcase. Once there, Karol is determined to take revenge against his ex-wife. He deals successfully on the black market until he has enough money to put his plan into action, but he hasn't counted on love getting in the way of its perfect execution. In French with English subtitles.
