The Danish Girl

The remarkable love story inspired by the lives of artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener, portrayed by Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING) and Alicia Vikander (EX MACHINA), and directed by Academy Award winner Tom Hooper (THE KING’S SPEECH, LES MISERABLES.)

After standing in as a female model for a painting by his wife Gerda, Danish artist Einar Wegener becomes enamored with his feminine identity and begins living as a woman named Lili Elbe. Although their marriage becomes strained, Gerda stands by Lili as she explores her true self and eventually undergoes one of the world’s first gender reassignment surgeries in the 1930s. This touching biopic was adapted from David Ebershoff’s book of the same name.
