This thrilling drama tells the heroic true story of 19-year-old Irena Gut (portrayed by Sophie Nélisse, of the hit series Yellowjackets), a Polish nursing student who is conscripted to work as a housekeeper for a Nazi officer. Shocked by the Nazi’s brutality against her Jewish neighbors, Irena decides to shelter 12 Jewish workers in the safest place she can find: the cellar of the Nazi officer’s villa. Irena uses her wit and courage to hide her friends for the next two years, persevering through countless Nazi parties, a blackmail scheme, and an unexpected pregnancy, until the chaotic end of the war creates new threats to their lives.

Be among the first to see Irena’s Vow before its April 15 theatrical release!
