One of the all-time, best-loved lesbian romances, November Moon is a beautifully made film with a powerful story. November (Gabriele Osburg) is a Jewish refugee in France during WWII. She is rescued by the beautiful Ferial (Christiane Millet), and the two women fall in love. A classic.
From acclaimed director Alexandra Von Grote, November Moon tells the gripping story of a wartime romance between two beautiful and strong-willed women. On the brink of World War II, November Messing flees her native Germany for the relative safety of Paris. There, she meets and falls in love with Férial, a fiercely patriotic young French woman. Their relationship becomes dangerous when the Nazis occupy the city. Férial decides to hide November — and to take a position with a Nazi paper to disguise both her lesbianism and her sympathy for the Jews. Amid a series of life-changing wartime events, November and Férial are challenged by extraordinary circumstances to realize their truest selves and to live – or die – by those choices.
A timeless and compelling love story, November Moon is a true classic of lesbian cinema.
