This Oscar nominated film is based on a true story. Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Nazi occupied Lvov in Poland, encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town’s sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected, the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews. This is an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women and children all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever increasing and intense danger.
