The movie follows Jan (played by Chastain), a strong-willed Polish woman who marries her husband Antonin (Shirley Henderson) at age 35 after being widowed twice before. Despite their cultural differences and age gap, they fall deeply in love.

However, when Nazi forces invade Poland during World War II, the zoo is transformed into an unlikely safe haven for hundreds of Jews fleeing certain death at German hands. Determined to save lives, Jan disguises herself as a Polish housewife while her husband Antonin risks his life daily delivering food and medicine to their hidden guests.

With each passing day, the risk grows greater - but so does their love for those they are fighting to protect. As seen in this emotional trailer clip:

'In times of war, we must stand together.'
