Aimée & Jaguar

Award winning director Maria Schrader (She Said, I'm You're Man) and Juliane Köhler shared the win for the Silver Bear for Best Actress award at the 1999 Berlinale Film Festival. Set against the backdrop of Berlin in 1943 during the Allied bombings and the Gestapo's relentless pursuit of Jews, Aimée and Jaguar portrays a perilous love affair that unfolds between two women. One, a courageous Jewish member of the underground resistance, and the other, a mother locked in a marriage with a Nazi officer. As the chaos of war surrounds them, they find solace and connection through the exchange of daily letters, adopting the clandestine identities of Aimée and Jaguar.
