Synopsis

Love Story documents a bizarre romance between two unusual women in Berlin during World War II. In 1942 Lilly Wurst was a Nazi super-mom who won an award from the government for producing four "racially pure" Aryan sons for the fatherland. But all that changed when Wurst met Felice Schragenheim, a vivacious 21-year-old assimilated German Jew who was involved with the political underground. Felice seduced Lilly and, after the two genuinely fell in love, revealed her Jewish identity and her anti-Nazi activism to her lover. Their relationship ended abruptly with a visit from the Gestapo 18 months later. A poignant, uplifting, and at times surreal account of lesbian life inside Hitler's Third Reich, Love Story is one of the must-see films at this year's festival.
