My Name is Sara is a 2020 biographical drama film directed by Steven Oritt and starring Zuzanna Surowy. It is based on the true story of Sara Gรณralnik, a Jewish girl who survived the Holocaust by hiding in the Ukrainian countryside after her entire family was killed by Nazis.
The film is set in Poland in 1942, as Jewish families are being rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Sara manages to escape with the help of a kind farmer, who takes her to his rural village and introduces her to his young wife.

As Sara tries to adapt to her new life, she quickly realizes that the farmer and his wife have their own secrets to hide.
