The film starring Eddie Redmayne and directed by Tom Hooper is set for release on 1 January 2016. 'The dress was loose everywhere except in the sleeves, and he felt warm and submerged, as if dipping into a summer sea .' Copenhagen, 1925. American painter Greta Waud is anxious to put the finishing touches to her latest portrait. But when her diva subject cancels yet another sitting, with a sudden glint in her eye, she calls to her husband Einar. And so, late on an April afternoon, in their sunlit studio, with a whisper of white silk, beautiful but tremulous, the Danish Girl is born. With her comes terrible confusion, guilty longings and fear of what the world might think - and the most passion, the most intimate love that either has ever known.
