If you loved Mein Leben ohne mich, try Elisa und Marcela
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Isabel Coixet, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mein Leben ohne mich, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Elisa und Marcela is
Here's a film that really wants to be tastefully tragic. In 1901 Spain, two women in love concoct a scheme for one to pose as a man so they can legally marry. This makes them Spain's first recorded same-sex marriage, though the subsequent persecution somewhat dampens the mood.
