It stars Juliette Binoche as the lone survivor of a car crash that killed her husband, a famous composer, and their only child. The husband left behind an unfinished composition that was the culmination of his life's work. The wife attempts at starting over, purging all remnants of her former existence in an attempt to sever her ties to the past, only to be repeatedly drawn to the music. In the end she decides to finish the work herself.
This is a meticulously shot film and the marks a new style that was to become Kieslowski's trademark. He crafts the mood of this film so completely that when watching it, you find yourself immersed in the plight of Julie as she rebuilds her life. She is in all but 1 of the scenes. It set a very high standard which he kept consistently in the other two films in this series. In this film he introduces a number of recurring themes and has managed to produce a faultless piece of work.
