Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore were a lesbian couple and step-sisters who lived and worked together all their lives. Heroic resisters to the Nazis occupying the island of Jersey during World War II, they were captured and sentenced to death.
