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 execution. 

Tonally lighter than the other Three Colours films, White is a witty, bittersweet anti-comedy which explores the revolutionary theme of equality as represented by its colour on the French flag.
