Screening in the original Polish version with German subtitles
Up to now, Leopold Socha has mainly got by on his own. However, this changes when the canal worker and occasional thief comes across a group of Jewish refugees during the turmoil of the Second World War. For a fee, he offers to hide them from the Nazis in the inextricable labyrinth of the sewers. A perfect plan, but are the persecuted people really safe in the underground corridors? And does Leopold even know what he has let himself in for? (j.b.)
