Three Colors: Red

Here is the rephrased section:

As Valentine Dussaut (no actor name provided) navigates her part-time modeling career alongside her studies at the University of Geneva, she frequently connects with her possessive boyfriend, who is currently abroad and has plans to meet up in London. Her work often brings her to unexpected places, like a recent chewing-gum advertising campaign that captured a poignant moment of sadness on camera.

The aftermath of one such modeling job proves particularly jarring when Valentine accidentally hits Rita, a pregnant Malinois dog, while driving home from the shoot. Feeling responsible for the dog's well-being, Valentine tracks down its owner, Joseph Kern, and is initially met with apathy. This prompts her to take matters into her own hands by visiting a veterinarian and ultimately deciding to adopt Rita.

As she navigates this new role as a pet parent, Valentine faces a series of unexpected challenges. She selects her favorite photo from the studio, refusing the advances of the ad company's photographer, only to find an anonymous payment for Rita's vet expenses left on her doorstep. The next day, Rita leads Valentine back to Kern's house, where she learns that he is responsible for the mysterious payment and encourages her to keep the dog.

However, this chance encounter also reveals a more profound issue when Valentine discovers Kern eavesdropping on his neighbor's phone conversation with his male lover. Instead of reporting the incident, Valentine chooses to confront Kern about his actions, which leads him to reveal that he is a retired judge who believes that his snooping will not alter the course of people's lives.

As they discuss the morality of his actions, Valentine shares her own personal struggles when she reveals that her biological father is not the man she thought it was. This newfound understanding prompts Kern to direct her attention toward his troubled neighbor, who is embroiled in a heroin trafficking ring. Meanwhile, Auguste, a law student and one-time acquaintance of Valentine's, finds inspiration for his exam success thanks to an open textbook that reveals a crucial passage from the Criminal Code.

That night, Kern's actions come back to haunt him when he writes letters confessing to his spying activities, leading to a class-action lawsuit. At court, Kern is forced to confront Karin and admit that his confessions were motivated by Valentine's disgust with his behavior. As they discuss the power of altruism, Kern recounts a case where he wrongly acquitted a sailor, leaving Valentine wondering if he has ever truly loved. Instead of providing a direct answer, Kern shifts the focus to a recurring dream in which Valentine is happy, offering a glimpse into the complexities of his own emotional landscape.

As Auguste's frustration with Karin's unavailability boils over, he seeks solace in the night air by climbing to her apartment, where he bears witness to a shocking display of infidelity. His pent-up emotions find an unintended target - his loyal dog - and he leaves it at a lamppost, a symbol of the turmoil brewing within. Meanwhile, Kern takes to the "Personal Weather Service" to inquire about the forecast for the English Channel, only to be told by Karin that the weather will be clear sailing ahead. Little does she know, her boyfriend's yacht is already charting a course for the very same waters.

Before departing for England, Valentine extends an invitation to Kern to attend her fashion show, where they share a cup of coffee and discuss the impending storm clouds gathering on the horizon. As Kern reveals the tragic tale of his lost love, it becomes clear that the gathering tempests will soon put Valentine in harm's way. Their conversation turns introspective as Kern shares the haunting details of his dream, where he sees Valentine at 50, surrounded by the love and happiness she so desperately desires. The two part ways with a promise to reunite in three weeks' time, when Kern will present her with one of Rita's adorable puppies.

As fate would have it, Valentine sets sail for England, accompanied by her new beau and his luxurious yacht. Auguste, still reeling from the encounter with Karin, finds himself reunited with his faithful canine companion as they board the ferry together. As they navigate their way through the crowded vessel, they unwittingly cross paths with each other, asking the same bemused employee for directions. Meanwhile, Kern tends to the puppies, unaware of the brewing storm that will soon ravage the English Channel, causing both the ferry and the yacht to meet a watery grave.

The television coverage of the disaster unfolds like a macabre dance, revealing only seven survivors: a barman, Julie and Olivier (from Blue), Karol and Dominique (from White), Auguste ( sans canine companion), and Valentine. As Kern beholds the tragic tale unfolding on the screen, his relief is palpable - he has narrowly escaped the very same fate that claimed so many lives.
