The Danish Girl

Inspired by the lives of artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener, this remarkable love story follows a marriage transformed by one partner’s journey toward living authentically. As Lili embraces her identity, the couple navigates devotion, change, and the challenges of a society unprepared for such truth.

Norway’s landscapes contribute a powerful visual backdrop to the film’s emotional and artistic tone. Filming at Mannen and on Haramsøya adds dramatic natural beauty and a sense of quiet isolation, enhancing the story’s intimacy while grounding it in striking Scandinavian scenery.
