The inspirational true story of Irena Gut, a young Polish woman who
was forced to work as a housekeeper for a Nazi Major during WW2.
When she learns the Jewish ghetto is to be liquidated, she helps 12
Jewish workers by sheltering them in the safest place she can think of:
the cellar of the German commandant's home. For two years – until the
end of the German occupation – Irena uses her courage and her wits to
hide her friends and keep them alive against all odds.
