Three Colors: White

The "Three Colors" trilogy is a free reflection on the slogan of the French Revolution, "liberty-equality-fraternity." The second film is dedicated to equality, understood in a very unexpected way.

A young couple, barely married, gets divorced due to an embarrassing misunderstanding: the husband turns out to be impotent and unable to satisfy his young wife. However, the protagonist cannot forget his beloved and seeks a way to win her back.

All the films in the trilogy are different from each other, but "White" is unlike the others. Firstly, it was mainly filmed not in France but in post-socialist Poland, which bears the heavy imprint of its Soviet past. Secondly, unlike the other parts, it is more of a sad comedy than a drama.

 The film received the Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival.
