| Summary |
Leopold Socha is a sewer worker in Nazi-occupied Lvov, Poland. When he finds a group of Jews hiding in the sewers, Leopold agrees to protect them from the Nazis in exchange for money, even though it could mean his death if they are found. Though he is solely motivated by cash at first, their experiences lead Leopold to adopt a different view of the people under his protection. When catastrophe strikes, Leopold is forced into a final act of courage. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the **Academy Awards.** Winner of Best Film at the **Polish Film Festival.** *"More than half of IN DARKNESS takes place underground, shrouded in rank, oppressive shadows. But the movie also glows bright with life and hope." - Rene Rodriguez, **Miami Herald*** |
