Three Colors: White (1994)

This is a noteworthy Polish movie. A French woman (Julie Delpy) divorces her expatriate Polish hairdresser husband (Zbigniew Zamachowski), claiming their short marriage was never consummated. Karol becomes penniless when his passport and credit cards are declared void. At a subway station he meets another man (Janusz Gajos) from Poland, who sneaks Karol onto an airplane by hiding him in a suitcase. Karol stays at his brother’s house and finds a job. He fakes his own death to trick his ex-wife into flying out to Poland, so he can be with her again.

The film illustrates the second theme of the trilogy - equality - and is a black comedy. In the first film, Juliette Binoche's character accidentally enters a courtroom while the divorce is being discussed. In the final scene of this film, Dominique is in a prison cell. The director used this film to symbolize what he considered the failure of the free market system in Poland after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In a similar scene to the first film, an old man in Paris is trying to recycle a bottle but cannot reach the container and Karol looks at him with a sinister grin on his face.
