As Lili emerges, Gerda navigates her own path as an artist and supporter of her spouse's transformation.

The Danish Girl (2015) is a visually stunning and emotionally poignant portrayal of identity and love. Directed by Tom Hooper, the film features powerful performances by Eddie Redmayne as Einar/Lili and Alicia Vikander as Gerda Wegener.
