The end of the Second World War brings in a new, totalizing sense of freedom for the Finnish avant-garde painter Tove Jansson. She leads a dissolute life and experiences an open relationship with a married politician, opposing the rigid ideals of her father, a sculptor. When she meets theatre director Vivica Bandler, they begin a fiery and devouring relationship that will put her to test and make her understand that the love she longs for must be mutual. A catchy drama on the creative energy of an iconic talent and its turbulent search for identity, desire and independence.
