Krátky popis
Now a major motion picture, starring Jessica Chastain and Daniel
Brühl, based on a remarkable true story of bravery and sanctuary
during World War II - out in Spring 2017. When Germany invades
Poland, Luftwaffe bombers devastate Warsaw and the city's zoo along
with it. With most of their animals killed, or stolen away to
Berlin, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski begin smuggling Jews
into the empty cages. As the war escalates Jan becomes increasingly
involved in the anti-Nazi resistance. Ammunition is buried in the
elephant enclosure and explosives stored in the animal hospital.
Plans are prepared for what will become the Warsaw uprising.
Through the ever-present fear of discovery, Antonina must keep her
unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and animal
inhabitants - otters, a badger, hyena pups, lynxes - as Europe
crumbles around them. Written with the narrative drive and
emotional punch of a novel, The Zookeeper's Wife is a remarkable
true story. It shows us the human and personal impact of war - of
life in the Warsaw Ghetto, of fighting in the anti-Nazi resistance.
But more than anything it is a story of decency and sacrifice
triumphing over terror and oppression. Jan and Antonina saved over
300 people from the death camps of the Holocaust. It has already
been acclaimed by Jonathan Safran Foer: 'I can't imagine a better
story or storyteller. The Zookeeper's Wife will touch every nerve
you have.'
