Aimée & Jaguar
Berlin 1943/1944. Two young women fall deeply in love against the background of the double threat of bombing raids and persecution. For one of them, married and a mother of four children, it will be a crucial experience in her life. For the other woman who, as a Jew and member of an underground organization and under constant threat, this love also means hope of life and survival.
Max Faerberboeck produced plays at theaters in Hamburg, Heidelberg, and Cologne before writing and directing several episodes of the TV series Der Fahnder. He then wrote and directed four award-winning TV films (Schlafende Hunde, Einer zahlt immer, Bella Block - Die Kommissarin, and Bella Block - Liebestod) before making his feature film debut with Aimée & Jaguar, which was nominated for the Golden Globe Award 2000.
