| Description |
Two gender non-conforming lesbians fighting nazis in World War II with their surrealist art on the island of Jersey in the English Channel. It sounds like a fable, but it’s the true story of Lucy Schwob and Suzanne Malherbe – known by their artist names, Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore. Capture follows Lucy and Suzanne through their arrest by occupying nazis, their trial, death sentence, and fortuitous liberation before the sentence could be carried out. |
