Based on a remarkable true story set in the Nazi occupation of Poland, 19-year-old Irena is the housekeeper in the home of a Nazi officer. Determined to help the Jewish workers, she shelters them in the safest place she can think of: the basement of the German commandant’s house. Over the next two years, Irena courageously hides her friends, concealing them in the midst of countless Nazi parties, a blackmail scheme, and even the birth of a Jewish baby. Her story is one of the most inspiring of that time, showcasing the triumphs of the human spirit over devastating tragedy.
Rated R for some strong violence and brief sexuality.
