La Chica Danesa

Inspired by a true story, this novel follows the extraordinary life of Einar Wegener, a landscape artist in 1920s Copenhagen. When Einar's wife, Gerda, asks him to pose for her portrait in women's clothing, it awakens a long-suppressed desire. What begins as a playful experiment soon evolves into a profound journey of self-discovery, as Einar grapples with his true identity as Lili Elbe, one of the first people to undergo gender confirmation surgery.
