Nelly & Nadine (2022) is a documentary film co-written and directed by Magnus Gertten. After the German defeat, a ship of women who survived the concentration camps was brought to Sweden.

This is the third film featuring two women, Nelly Mousset Vos and Nadine Hwang

Someone filmed the event, and director Gertten had previously identified the two individuals in the film and made films about them. The two women met and fell in love in the Ravensbrück concentration camp.

They were separated but both survived

Years later, Nelly’s granddaughter contacted director Gertten, who made this painstaking documentary about a lesbian couple who traveled the world to be together. Nelly & Nadine has a good IMDb rating of 7.3.

I thought it was a great movie and gave it a 10

We saw this movie as part of Rochester’s wonderful ImageOut, an LGBTQ film festival.
