Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. ( March 2018 ) Dr. Jan Żabiński ( Johan Heldenbergh ) is the director of the Warsaw Zoo, one of the largest and most prolific zoos in 1930s Europe. He is aided by his wife, Antonina ( Jessica Chastain ). Jan endures the scornful, yet envious rivalry of a colleague, Dr. Lutz Heck ( Daniel Brühl ), the head of the Berlin Zoo and Adolf Hitler 's chief zoologist. On September 1, 1939, Antonina and her son Ryszard ( Timothy Radford and later, Val Maloku ) barely survive the aerial bombardment of Warsaw as German forces storm Poland. Bombs raze the zoo cages, killing many animals while others escape into the streets. As Polish resistance collapses, Heck arrives at the zoo when Jan is away, convincing Antonina to `` loan '' him the prize animals to save them. He promises to return them to Warsaw when the war ends. Heck later returns with Nazi soldiers to shoot the remaining animals, claiming they will die from the winter weather. It becomes evident that Heck has developed a romantic interest in Antonina. Warsaw undergoes a monstrous upheaval as Jews are herded into the Ghetto. Two of the Zabinskis ' Jewish friends, Maurycy Fraenkel ( Iddo Goldberg ) and his partner Magda Gross ( Efrat Dor ), seek a safe place for another friend 's notable insect collection. Antonina makes an unusual offer to shelter Magda in an attic closet. Jan and Antonina know they can be executed for helping Jews but realize the zoo can be used to save lives. Magda Gross is the first. With the zoo abandoned, Jan and Antonina seek out Heck at his Warsaw headquarters. They propose turning the zoo into a pig farm to help feed the German occupying forces. Secretly, they hope to bring food to Jews in the Ghetto. Heck is intrigued ; he needs a new site for his experiments, recreating Aurochs, an extinct cattle breed, as a symbol of the Reich. He agrees to the pig farm idea. Jan begins retrieving garbage scraps from the Ghetto to feed the pigs ; seeing starving Jews is shocking and unbearable to Jan, and he secretly begins working with the Underground Army to transport Jews from the Ghetto to safehouses throughout the country. He sneaks them into the zoo and hides them in animal cages, tunnels, and inside the Zabinski house. After some trepidation, Antonina agrees to help. It is difficult at first, but she uses her ability to soothe frightened animals to comfort the terrified people. Jan rescues a young girl, Urszula ( Shira Haas ), who was raped by two Nazi guards, and takes her to the zoo. She is traumatized and refuses to speak. Antonina slowly draws her out by talking about her own difficult childhood, and gives her a baby rabbit. Urszula overcomes her fear and becomes part of the secret household of hidden Jews. The Żabińskis continue smuggling Jews out of the Ghetto, hiding them in the zoo or disguising them as Aryans and taking them to safehouses. However, in 1942, the Germans begin deporting Jews to the death camps. Jan is devastated to see young children being taken to the camps, but he has no choice but to help load them into the cattle cars as German police keep watch. In 1943, two women rescued by Jan and disguised as Aryans by Antonina are arrested and executed in a Warsaw street. Several months later, after a failed uprising, the Germans announce their intention to liquidate the Ghetto. It will happen on Hitler 's birthday, which also falls on the first night of Passover. While the Jews mournfully celebrate a secret Passover Seder hidden inside the zoo, the Germans burn the Ghetto, killing those left inside. Several months later, Antonina gives birth to a baby girl, whom Ryszard names Teresa. As Heck 's attraction to Antonina intensifies, she struggles to fend him off while guarding the secret `` guests. '' Jan participates in the Warsaw uprising and is shot and captured. Antonina is given no information as to his whereabouts ; she fears he is dead. In January 1945, with the Soviet troops forcing the Germans to retreat, the enemy begins evacuating Warsaw. Antonina seeks Heck 's help to find Jan, but he refuses, and accuses Antonina of resistance activity. Heck attacks Antonina in a sexual rage. When she tells him that he repulses her, he realizes she had duped him. Antonina returns to the zoo, warning her guests just in time to escape. Magda takes baby Teresa with her as Antonina hides Ryszard in the basement, knowing Heck will return. Heck arrives in a fury with his men, barging into the villa 's basement and discovering the secret drawings on the walls : yellow Stars of David and dates, and images of hidden Jewish guests drawn with animal faces. Enraged, Heck chases Ryszard through the underground lion tunnel and outside again, seizing him at gunpoint. Antonina begs Heck to spare Ryszard but he drags him away. A shot rings out off - screen and Antonina, devastated, collapses. Ryszard suddenly returns, the victim of Heck 's cruel hoax. Heck leaves the zoo for good, and Antonina and Ryszard join the march out of Warsaw, taking along the rabbit and one of Heck 's test subjects, a young bison. As they leave their home and the city is liberated, they release the bison into the woods. Four months after the Nazi surrender, Warsaw begins rebuilding. Antonina, Ryszard and baby Teresa return. The zoo is extensively damaged but still standing. Jerzyk, their loyal zookeeper, greets them, and they begin rebuilding the zoo. Jan later returns home, having survived a prison camp. In the film 's final moment, the Żabińskis paint Stars of David on all the cages in the zoo. The Postscript tells us that 300 people were saved by the Zabinskis in their zoo. Lutz Heck returned to Berlin, where his zoo was destroyed by Allied bombings. His efforts to recreate extinct aurochs failed. The Żabińskis were eventually recognized by Israel ( Jad Vashem Y ) for their righteous acts and defiance against the Germans. The Zabinskis rebuilt their zoo and the Warsaw Zoo remains open to this day. Cast Jessica Chastain as Antonina Żabińska Johan Heldenbergh as Jan Żabiński Daniel Brühl as Lutz Heck Michael McElhatton as Jerzyk Iddo Goldberg as Maurycy Fraenkel Efrat Dor as Magda Gross Shira Haas as Urszula Val Maloku as Ryszard Żabiński Timothy Radford as Young Ryszard Żabiński Martha Issová as Regina Kenigswein Goran Kostić as Mr. Kinszerbaum Arnošt Goldflam as Janusz Korczak Historical context The Warsaw Zoo pictured in 1938, a year before the outbreak of World War II. Jan Żabiński, the director and superintendent of the Warsaw Zoo The Zookeeper 's Wife is based on Diane Ackerman 's non-fiction book of the same name, which relied heavily on the diaries of Antonina Żabińska, published in Poland as Ludzie i zwierzęta ( translated as : People and Animals ) ( 1968 ). In key aspects of historical context, the screenplay follows the story of Antonina and her husband, Jan, closely. Both worked at the Warsaw Zoo. Antonina helped her husband who was the director of the zoo. Animals were part of their family 's life, and the devastation that resulted from the attack on Warsaw and the subsequent pillaging of the zoo is well documented. The actions of Lutz Heck and his animal breeding experiments were also a matter of historical record, although the intimate relationship of the protagonist, Antonina and the antagonist, Heck, is exaggerated. However, the defiance of Nazi occupation and ultimately, the rescue of over 300 Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto were depicted accurately. The contributions and participation of the Żabinski children, Ryszard and Teresa ( credited as Theresa in the film ) were also notable. Production In September 2010, it was announced that Angela Workman was adapting Diane Ackerman 's non-fiction book, The Zookeeper 's Wife. On April 30, 2013, Jessica Chastain was attached to play the titular role as Antonina Żabińska, while Niki Caro signed on to direct the film. On August 24, 2015, Focus Features acquired the US rights to the film, and Daniel Brühl and Johan Heldenbergh signed on to star in it. Filming Filming began with the animals on September 9, 2015, and principal photography with the actors began on September 29, 2015, in Prague, Czech Republic. Suzie Davies served as the production designer, Andrij Parekh as the director of photography, and Bina Daigeler as the costume designer. Filming ended on November 29, 2015. Release The Zookeeper 's Wife had its world premiere on March 8, 2017 in Warsaw, Poland, and its US premiere at the Cinequest Film Festival on March 12, 2017. The film was released in the United States on March 31, 2017 and was released in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2017. It premiered in Spain at the Barcelona - Sant Jordi International Film Festival on April 22, 2017. It also premiered in France at the 43rd Deauville Film Festival on September 7, 2017. A special screening was held at the US Holocaust Museum in Washington DC on March 22, 2017, with a panel discussion including speakers Diane Ackerman, Jessica Chastain, Niki Caro and Angela Workman. Prior to the film 's release, Focus Features partnered with the International Rescue Committee to screen the film in cities across the country, including a special screening at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, California, and a special screening in New York City, with a panel of speakers which included Chastain, Caro and Workman. The New York screening occurred on behalf of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, and was hosted by activist Steven Goldstein. The film speakers were joined by Sarah O'Hagan of the International Rescue Committee. The evening 's topic of discussion was the rescue of Jewish refugees during the Holocaust, and the current refugee crisis in Europe. The film began running on HBO as of December 23, 2017. Reception Box Office The Zookeeper 's Wife grossed $17.4 million in the United States and Canada and $7.1 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $24.5 million, against a production budget of $20 million. In North America, the film grossed $3.3 million in its opening weekend from 541 theaters ( a per - theater average of $6,191 ), finishing 10th at the box office. It remained the top grossing indie film in its second, third and fourth weeks of release. The film remained the top grossing specialty film of 2017 in its fifth week of release, with IndieWire praising the film 's release strategy, saying : `` Focus ' aggressive push for this Jessica Chastain Holocaust rescue story has paid off with the top result for any specialized audience release since awards season. It wo n't hit the level of Woman in Gold two years ago ( $33 million ), but that 's more of a factor of the steep decline in overall upscale grosses and more competition at the moment than other differences between the two films. '' In its eighth and ninth weeks of release, The Zookeeper 's Wife was the third highest grossing specialty release of 2017, despite a reduction in its theater count. In its tenth week of release, IndieWire said the film `` has been a rare specialized standout this spring. '' The film remained the top - selling war film for the first three months of its home media release, making a total of $3.5 million in sales. Critical response On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 61 % based on 160 reviews, with an average rating of 6.2 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` The Zookeeper 's Wife has noble intentions, but is ultimately unable to bring its fact - based story to life with quite as much impact as it deserves. '' On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 57 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. IndieWire listed The Zookeeper 's Wife on its shortlist of best indie films of the year, stating : `` Niki Caro 's fact - based historical drama is a heartbreaker of the highest order, anchored by an understated performance by Jessica Chastain and a series of wrenching dramatic twists that will wring tears out of even the hardest of hearts. '' Mick LaSalle, writing for The San Francisco Chronicle, gave the film a 5 - star review, saying that it `` grabs us from its first seconds '' and that : The Zookeeper 's Wife achieves its grandeur not through the depiction of grand movements, but through its attentiveness to the shifts and flickers of the soul. The war was a great external event, but Caro reminds us that it was experienced internally, by the people and the animals who had to try to live through it. Kenneth Turan, in The Los Angeles Times, says `` Niki Caro and Jessica Chastain create an emotionally satisfying Zookeeper 's Wife ''. The AP, the national wire service, says the film `` tells a riveting true story '' that is `` both inspiring and comes as a welcome reminder in this time of uncertainty that even in the face of astonishing evil, humanity and goodness can also rise to the occasion. '' Jacob Soll in The New Republic heralded the film as the `` first feminist Holocaust film ''. In a negative review, Variety 's Peter Debruge said, `` There 's no nice way to put it in this case, but The Zookeeper 's Wife has the unfortunate failing of rendering its human drama less interesting than what happens to the animals -- and for a subject as damaging to our species as the Holocaust, that no small shortcoming. '' In contrast, Variety 's Kristopher Tapley wrote that the film deserved consideration as an Oscar contender. Stephen Holden of The New York Times said the film `` was like `` Schindler 's List with pets, '' writing that it was `` so timid and sanitized it almost feels safe for children. '' Polish reviewers expressed a strong positive response to the film, as it spoke to their history. The Krakow Post stated : `` On a universal level ( the film ) is a prayer for sanity and the civilized values of charity, empathy, and humanity in any time which finds itself threatened to be ruled by mass insanity, hatred, and barbarism. Lessons derived from this darkest period of recent history can never be untimely. '' Alexandra Macaaron, in Women 's Voices For Change, gave the film a rave review, noting that The Zookeeper 's Wife is a rarity among Holocaust films, and is distinguished by its female perspective on war and the struggle to protect every living soul, strangers and friends alike. Accolades At the 2016 Heartland Film Festival, held each October in Indianapolis, Indiana, The Zookeeper 's Wife was awarded the `` Truly Moving Picture Award '' ; emblematic of the festival 's goal to `` inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film.
