Three Colors: White
Impoverished immigrant Karol fights to rebuild his life and reclaim his lost fortune after a humiliating divorce, navigating a treacherous underworld of smuggling and revenge that could either restore his pride or destroy him.
Synopsis
Polish immigrant Karol Karol becomes unmarried, unemployed and stateless when his French wife Dominique divorces him after six months because of his impotence. After losing the business they owned together, he is forced to leave France and enlists fellow Polish expatriate Mikołaj to smuggle him back to their homeland.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
