Have the courage to be yourself.

Copenhagen, mid-1920s. Gerda Wegener is a talented portrait painter who works in the shadow of her husband, Einar, a very popular landscape painter. One afternoon, Gerda is painting a picture when the model she was expecting doesn't show up at the studio. She asks Einar to take her place for a while. He agrees, almost out of courtesy, convinced it's a minor favor. However, what seems like a simple sitting begins to unsettle him, while Gerda, eager to prove what she's worth as a painter, insists that the pose turn out right. Tom Hooper directs, and the film stars Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander.

Trivia about The Danish Girl

Alicia Vikander won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film, which was the only one of its four nominations that it converted into a win.

Vikander told MTV International that two scenes in which Amber Heard danced were cut from the final edit, and that the first cut ran over two hours long.

Filming lasted 44 days and included 186 scenes shot across six countries.

Charlize Theron was the first actress chosen to play Gerda Wegener, but she left the project, and her replacement, Gwyneth Paltrow, also dropped out later due to location changes.

The name "Lili Elbe," the only one used in the film, was coined by Copenhagen journalist Louise "Loulou" Lassen.

The film grossed 67.5 million dollars worldwide against a budget of 15 million, with 11.1 million coming from North America and 56.4 million from other territories.

Eddie Redmayne spent a full year preparing for the role before filming began, according to Tom Hooper in a conversation about the production.

Filming in Copenhagen received funding from the Copenhagen Film Fund and was scheduled to take place over ten days in late March 2015, after the first few weeks of work in England.
