There is release at the end of this fine film, but no euphoria; just a sense of having come through a period of evil, the memory of whose darkness will never entirely lift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is In Darkness about? Toggle content

In Darkness, a powerful and thought-provoking drama, tells the true story of Leopold Socha, a Polish Catholic sewer worker who risked everything to save a group of Jewish refugees during the Nazi occupation of Lwów in World War II. When Socha and his friend Szczepek Wróblewski discover the Jews hiding in the city's sewers, they initially demand payment for their help. But as the days turn into weeks and the Jews' money runs out, Socha and Wróblewski continue to aid them, even as it becomes increasingly dangerous. The film follows the group's harrowing journey, as they face the constant threat of discovery and the harsh realities of living in the sewers. Despite the danger, Socha and his wife Klara, as well as Wróblewski and his wife Stefcia, become deeply involved in the Jews' plight, and their actions ultimately lead to their recognition as Righteous Among the Nations. With outstanding performances and a gripping narrative, In Darkness sheds light on a remarkable story of courage and compassion in the face of unimaginable horror.
