Aimée & Jaguar is a 1999 German war and drama movie set during World War II. It was written and directed by Max Färberböck, based upon Erica Fischer's book.
Description
The film explores the lives of the characters Felice Schragenheim (Maria Schrader), a Jewish woman who assumed a false name and who belongs to an underground organization, and Lilly Wust (Juliane Köhler), a married mother of four children, unsatisfied with her husband (a nazi soldier), whose worlds seem both lost, but when they come together, they realize they have found what they were looking for was each other. The movie was nominated and won many German awards (both Köler and Schrader notably won the best actress Silver Bear) and also was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film.
