The Zookeeper's Wife
DramaWar127 min
As World War II closes in on Warsaw, zookeepers Antonina and Jan Żabiński watch their zoo shattered by the German invasion. With the city under occupation and Jewish families being rounded up, they turn the empty cages, tunnels, and animal pens into hiding places. Antonina keeps daily life looking ordinary while Jan joins the resistance and finds ways to move people out of the ghetto and into the zoo. Every visit from German officials, including the zoo's new overseer, raises the risk of discovery. Jessica Chastain and Johan Heldenbergh star in a story built around quiet deception, constant danger, and a rescue effort carried out in plain sight.
