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.
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 German Nazi's 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.
An international film-festival favorite, November Moon won Best Film honors at the Gay Film Festival of New York, the AGLA Award (Alliance for Gay and Lesbian Artists in the Entertainment Industry), and Frameline's Best Director Award for Alexandra von Grote.
". . .shows sensitivity in balancing the complexities of wartime actions, and subordinates the love story to give a broad picture of that period." ...San Francisco Chronicle
