Zookeeper’s Wife<\/strong>\u00a0(USA-UK-CZ\/2017\/127’\/SUB: FR – NL)
Two-time Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain stars in\u00a0The Zookeeper\u2019s Wife<\/em>\u00a0in the title role of Antonina \u017babi\u0144ska, a real-life working wife and mother who became a hero to hundreds during WWII. Niki Caro (Whale Rider<\/em>,\u00a0North Country<\/em>) directed the movie, which was adapted froma screenplay by Angela Workman, adapted from Diane Ackerman\u2019s non-fiction book of the same name which was based on Antonina\u2019s diaries.
The year is 1939. The place is Poland, homeland of Antonina (portrayed by Chastain) and her husband, Dr. Jan \u017babi\u0144ski (Johan Heldenbergh, of\u00a0The Broken Circle Breakdown<\/em>). Devoted to each other, the couple thrive as personal and professional partners; the Warsaw Zoo flourishes under Jan\u2019s stewardship and Antonina\u2019s care. With her boundless energy, Antonina rises every day to tend to both her family and their menagerie, as the gates to the majestic zoo open to welcome the public\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026until the entrance is slammed shut and the zoo is crippled in an attack as the entire country is invaded by the Germans. Stunned, the couple is forced to report to the Reich\u2019s newly-appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck (Golden Globe Award nominee Daniel Br\u00fchl of\u00a0Captain America: Civil War<\/em>). Heck envisions a new, selective breeding program for the zoo.
Antonina and Jan fight back on their own terms, and covertly begin working with the Resistance \u2013 realising that their zoo\u2019s abandoned animal cages and underground tunnels, originally designed to safeguard animal life, can now secretly safeguard human life. As the couple puts into action plans to save lives out of what has become the Warsaw Ghetto, Antonina places herself and even her children at great risk.
