Aimee and Jaguar

Based on a true story, "Aimee and Jaguar" is an unforgettable film about love, passion and the triumph of the human spirit. In the darkest days of World War II, while the Allies are bombing Berlin and the Gestapo is purging the capital of Jews, a dangerous love affair blossoms between two women. For Lily (aka "Aimee"), a married woman, the mother of four sons, and an exemplar of Nazi motherhood, this affair will be the decisive experience of her life. For Felice (aka "Jaguar"), Jewish, and a member of the underground, their love fuels her hope for survival. A half-century later, their incredible story became an international bestseller. The film was nominated for a 1999 Golden Globe Award and was Germany's submission for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Both lead actresses received Silver Bears at the 1999 Berlin International Film Festival .
