Set in the dazzling and sophisticated pre-war capital of Poland, The Last Woman of Warsaw follows two very different young Jewish women – Fanny, a feisty fashion photographer, and Zosia, a political activist. The women are unexpectedly thrown together on a rescue mission and develop an unlikely and powerful friendship as they search for love, freedom and a sense of home, and, as they grapple with the storm clouds gathering around them.
