Storyline

Copenhagen, early 1920s. Danish artist, Gerda Wegener, painted her own husband, Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne), as a lady in her painting. When the painting gained popularity, Einar started to change his appearance into a female appearance and named himself Lili Elbe. With his feminism passion and Gerda's support, Einar - or Elbe attempted first-ever male to female sex reassignment surgery, a decision that turned into a massive change for their marriage, that Gerda realized her own husband is no longer a man or the person she married before. A childhood friend of Einar, art-dealer Hans Axgil (Matthias Schoenaerts), shows up and starts a complex love triangle with the couple. Written by Gusde

An inspiring, fun and emotional journey
14 September 2015 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

I cannot say enough to do this film the justice it deserves.

Through a beautifully tangled love story this film opens the eyes and hearts of the audience to the harsh reality a trans-person is born into. A world of misunderstanding,ignorance and flat out discrimination.

The Oscars worthy performances in this film create a passionate and understanding display of humanity at it's finest moments. A lesson every generation can learn from.

There has been a desperate need for a film this enlightening for many generations. It will prove to be a timeless masterpiece I am sure.
