He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town’s sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city above. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected. An unlikely bond forms between Socha and the Jews as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha’s conscience. Based on a true story.
