Not available in your country
When the young artist Tove Jansson invents the Moomins in Helsinki in 1945, she is in the midst of a crisis of meaning: she has an open relationship with the left-wing politician Atos and is wildly in love with the exciting theater director Vivica. Tove's father, a renowned sculptor, looks disdainfully at her work. And she herself would also prefer to succeed with modern art. But her stories of the troll creatures with bulbous noses, which she draws on the side, are printed in series by a newspaper - and make Tove rich and famous in no time. But is this the freedom she has always longed for?
