From acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland, In Darkness is based on a true story.
Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi occupied city in Poland,
one day 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 above. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement
turns into something very unexpected, the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews
as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha’s conscience. The film is also an extraordinary
story of survival as these men, women and children all try to outwit certain death during
fourteen months of ever increasing and intense danger.
