 The American version features a different ending: in the original, Veronique  drives to the house where her is still living and pauses outside to touch a  tree. Her father realizes shes outside and raises his head from the bench  where hes working. The American version features 1 minute of additional   footage showing the father stepping outside the house, calling his daughter   and Veronique running into his arms. Kieslowski shot the additional   sequences after the films premiere at the New York Film Festival in 1991,   when he realized that the audience didnt understand the meaning of the   original ending.
