Description:
Irena Sendler, a courageous Catholic social worker, had always held a soft spot for the Jews since her early years when her father tragically succumbed to typhus after attending to impoverished Jewish patients. In the midst of World War II and amidst the horrors of the Warsaw Ghetto, she bravely puts forward an audacious plan to save Jewish children from certain doom. However, her initiative faces considerable resistance; her fellow colleagues, religious leaders, and even her own mother doubt both her conviction and feasibility of her plan. Despite the obstacles, Irena's unwavering determination drives her to risk everything in pursuit of humanity amidst one of history's darkest hours.
