Tove |

Helsinki, 1945. The end of the war brings a new sense of artistic and social freedom for painter Tove Jansson. Tove’s desire for liberty is put to the test when she meets theater director Vivica Bandler. As she struggles with her personal life, her creative endeavors take her in an unexpected direction. She focuses her artistic dreams on her painting, while the work started as a side project, the melancholic, haunting tales she told scared children in bomb shelters, rapidly takes on a life of its own. The exploits of the Moomins, infused with inspiration from her own life, bring Tove international fame and financial freedom.
