See the most agreed on films →Based on a true story, this film follows Leopold Socha, a Polish sewer worker and petty thief in the Nazi-occupied city of Lvov. Initially motivated by money, he agrees to hide a group of Jewish refugees in the labyrinthine sewers beneath the city. For months, he becomes their sole link to the outside world, bringing them food and supplies. As the war rages on above, Socha's relationship with the people he is protecting transforms from a business transaction into a profound moral commitment, risking his own life and his family's safety.
