Description
Joanna, a hard working waitress is just trying to get by in German-occupied Warsaw. One day after a Nazi raid at work, she finds a Jewish girl separated from her family. Forced by her conscience, she decides to hide the girl and look for her family. A bond blossoms between the two, and Joanna suddenly finds a purpose in her life. Falk presents a tightly wound, suspenseful film that weighs the costs and dangers of maintaining one's sense of decency in a world where none seems to exist.
