Three Colors: Blue follows Julie, a woman who survives a car crash that kills her husband, a renowned composer, and their young daughter. Shattered by grief, she attempts to sever all emotional ties and disappear into anonymity in Paris, believing freedom lies in complete detachment. However, she slowly discovers that true liberation cannot be achieved by simply erasing one's connections to love and humanity.
Kieślowski films Juliette Binoche's composer's widow trying to disappear inside Paris. The blue light, the swimming pool, the rats — every detail is the grief that won't dissolve.
