Set against the glitz and decadence of 1920s Copenhagen, Paris and Dresden, and inspired by a true story, 'The Danish Girl' is about one of the most passionate and unusual marriages of the twentieth century.
Elinar Wegener and his American wife Greta Waud have been married for six years, but are yet to have a child. Both painters, they live a life of bohemian creativity in Copenhagen until one day their lives are irreversibly altered. 'The Danish Girl' eloquently portrays the intimacy between a man who discovers that he is, in fact, a woman, and his wife who would sacrifice anything for him. Uniting fact and fiction into a unique romantic vision, 'The Danish Girl' explores the very heart of what connects men and women - and what separates them.
