Logline: Inspired by true events, this is the wartime story of one Polish woman and her family who, with courage and dignity, goodness and love, bravely defy the terrifying Nazi evil.
Synopsis: When the Germans march into Poland in 1939, every Pole has a decision to make -- collaborate, do nothing, or resist. Anna and her husband Tomasz, a farmer, along with their family and friends, follow their consciences while others follow orders. They hide Jews, feed strangers, keep secrets, and work with the Underground. These unlikely heroes live in constant fear of betrayal or accidental exposure, knowing full well that the punishment will be death if they are caught. The actions taken by ordinary people who respond to extraordinary circumstances in a morally exemplary fashion are exceptional in a time and place marked by apathy and complicity. In a world forever changed by the devastating horror of World War II and the Holocaust, this one Polish family’s story of moral heroism provides a shining example for the potential of the human spirit.
