IN DARKNESS
An Oscar-nominated masterpiece by Agnieszka Holland
at the Toronto International Film Festival

IN DARKNESS, written by Toronto’s David Shamoon and directed by Poland’s Agnieszka Holland, tells the true story of Leopold Socha (Robert Więckiewicz), a sewer worker and petty thief in Nazi-occupied Lvov, Poland. Stumbling upon a group of Jews in the sewers, he agrees to hide them for a price. What starts out as a straightforward business arrangement becomes something unexpected, as they all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of intense danger.
