In the organizer's words:

home theater. THREE COLORS: BLUE - OmU

Julie, 33, loses her husband, a famous composer, and her daughter in a car accident. In speechless grief, she leaves everything behind, puts the family estate up for sale and moves into an attic apartment in Paris. Only gradually does she find her way back into life as her willingness to take on responsibility grows: for a depressed neighbor who works as a sex performer; for her husband's work, which she tries to complete with his assistant; finally for the unborn son of the deceased, which she only learns about when she comes face to face with her husband's pregnant lover ... In Krzysztof Kieślowski's film trilogy about the values of the French Revolution, the first part of which deals with "Freedom", she realizes that regression is not a practical way of life, but a (childish) escape mechanism. Juliette Binoche was awarded Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival in 1993 for her portrayal of a vulnerable woman who transforms her concept of freedom, i.e. who moves from a "freedom from" to a "freedom for".
