The Review

An extraordinaryᅠstory about an incredible woman that gave all she was to become the person she was born to be. This woman wasn't always seen as herself. She was born a boy by the name of Einar Wegener. He lived his life like anyone else, he went to school, met a young woman, got married and followed his passions as a landscape painter. Only through all of it, there was something missing. When he as asked by his wife to pose for a portrait, he began to realize exactly what it was that was missing. As time progressed, his passion for who he really was could no longer be contained. It wasn't just him though, it was those around him. Together Einar and Gerda began to seek help for what was happening, in that day, that was just not acceptable and so the only explanation was a mental disorder. That is until they met a professor on the verge of this new research. It was clear to even this professor that Einar was not Einar... He was in fact Lili. It then became a matter of how to help her become the woman that she was meant to be. A beautifully touching tale that delves into a highly controversial subject amongst many. This story is based on the true story of Einar Wegener / Lili Elbe and what he/she went through during the long and taxing transformation. This subject matter is taboo, even in today's society yet it is a real matter. A truly emotional look into a pioneer in being true to one's self. Is it for you, only you can decide but it is a beautiful story about finding who you are and staying true to yourself.
