In Darkness

A FILM BY Agnieszka Holland

A grueling but unusual Holocaust survival story brought to life.

- Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter

It is suspenseful, horrifying and at times intensely moving

- A.O. Scott, The NY Times

The suspense here derived from a true story, is excruciating and inspiring in equal measure.

- Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal

Le suspense ici, dérivé d'une histoire vraie, est atroce et source d'inspiration dans une égale mesure.

- Joe Morgenstern, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Synopsis

IN DARKNESS tells the true story of Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Nazi-occupied Lvov, Poland. Stumbling upon a group of Jews in the sewers, he agrees to hide them for a price. What starts out as a straightforward business arrangement becomes something unexpected, as they all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of intense danger.
