Einar Wegener is a Danish artist, apparently happily married to wife of the same occupation Gerda. One day, Gerda persuades her husband to assist her as a female model while she paints, dressing up in a dress and stockings. An unexpected wave of clarity washes over Einar, who readily agrees to continue posing for Gerda. Dubbing the female persona Lili, Gerda takes her out for fun - but when it seems Lili is falling for her childhood friend Hans Axgil, she is heartbroken. She eventually understands that her husband is actually a woman in the wrong body, and stands by her woman as she undertakes groundbreaking gender reassignment surgery; a series of operations that could threaten her very life, let alone her marriage.
'The Danish Girl' is a true story of the very first identified transgender woman. The movie, based on the 2000 novel of the same name by David Ebershoff, has been directed by Oscar winner Tom Hooper ('The King's Speech', 'Les Misérables', 'The Damned United') and written by Lucinda Coxon ('Wild Target', 'The Heart of Me'), and was nominated earlier this year for the Golden Lion award at Venice Film Festival. The film is set to his the UK on January 1st 2016.
