Unimpressive except for the actresses' performances. Supporting actress Heike Makatsch as Klara has a great screen presence.
It’s not the fact that it’s a lesbian love but the fact that Felice, one of the main characters, is a jew before the decline of nazism and Hitler in Germany. That’s what compromises the whole story - nationalism and racism. A pretty good based-on-a-real-story film, very well directed.

Anyone watch this movie? It's the most beautiful lesbian love story I've ever seen. Tragic and sweet as life. Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's score is perfect.
