Aimee and Jaguar


Nominated for a Golden Globe and German’s offical submission for a Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, Max Farberbock’s Aimee & Jaguar is the tender accont of a forbidden love affair set against the backdrop of wartime Germany.

In performances that garnered them Silver bears at the 1999 Berlin International Film Festival, Julian Kohler (Lily Wust) and Maria Schrader (Felice Schragenheim) play the epynomous Aimee & Jaguar, an exampler of Nazi motherhood and a politically committed Jewess respecively who embark on a transgressive love affair that will ultimately shatter their lives.

Based on a true story and powerfully dramatised, it is an uplifting love story totally unlike any other.
