The Oscar nominated IN
DARKNESS tells the true story of Leopold Socha who risks his own life to save a
dozen people from certain death. Initially only interested in his own good, the
thief and burglar hides Jewish refugees for 14 months in the sewers of the
Nazi-occupied town of Lvov
One night a drunken NS friend comes late at night with his also drunken buddy, to have a drink with his good friend Socha. Socha looks around to get some food for his guests. His little daughter Stefcia almost destroys everything when she says: "Leave it, Papa, that's for the Jews." The friend, Bortnik immediately comes over to ask Stefcia about the Jews. The quick-thinking little girl quickly grabs two little dolls and tells Bortnik that these are her Jews. He laughs about it. Socha is still a little shaken from the confrontation and from almost giving the secret away.
After the two men leave, Socha is going to spank Stefcia, but Wanda absolutely will not permit this. She says don't blame Stefcia for this because Socha was the one who brought this upon Stefica and her. Socha says she must learn! Wanda retorts: "And when will you learn? Wasn't it enough they hanged Szczepek?"
