Nelly & Nadine
The voice of opera singer Nelly resonates in the middle of Ravensbrück
concentration camp. Nelly and Nadine met for the first time at Christmas in 1944. They found each other again after liberation
and were to stay together for the rest of their lives. Today, Nelly’s granddaughter Sylvie is about to be confronted with
her grandmother’s legacy, locked in a box. Over a period of one year, Magnus Gertten accompanies granddaughter Sylvie on her
cautious search, following the traces of the untold stories that are found in the various sources. A moving film about a deep
and loving lesbian relationship and the necessity of individual and collective remembrance. (Berlinale)
