Focus Features has unveiled the trailer for the drama The Zookeeper's Wife [ZKPWF] based on the real-life story of a woman who saved hundreds of Jews during World War II. The Zookeeper's Wife opens wide on March 31st.
In 1939 Poland, Antonina Żabińska (Jessica Chastain [JCHAS]) and her husband, Dr. Jan Żabiński (Johan Heldenbergh), have the Warsaw Zoo flourishing under his stewardship and her care. When their country is invaded by the Nazis, Jan and Antonina are stunned – and forced to report to the Reich’s newly appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck (Daniel Brühl [DBRUH]). To fight back on their own terms, Antonina and Jan covertly begin working with the Resistance – and put into action plans to save lives out of what has become the Warsaw Ghetto, with Antonina putting herself and even her children at great risk.
