This thrilling
drama tells the heroic true story of 19-year-old Irena Gut (portrayed
by Sophie Nélisse, of the hit series Yellowjackets), a Polish nursing
student who is conscripted to work as a housekeeper for a Nazi
officer. Shocked by the Nazi’s brutality against her Jewish
neighbors, Irena decides to shelter 12 Jewish workers in the safest
place she can find: the cellar of the Nazi officer’s villa. Irena
uses her wit and courage to hide her friends for the next two years,
persevering through countless Nazi parties, a blackmail scheme, and
an unexpected pregnancy, until the chaotic end of the war creates new
threats to their lives.
