In 1984, when a violent upheaval in the mining industry spreads through British society, the miners receive support from a surprising direction: a small group of gay activists begins to collect funds for the strikers’ families.

The Danish Girl 

A touching love story based on the lives of Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener. 1926 Copenhagen-based artist Einar Wegener, who is married to Gerda Wegener, is known for his landscape paintings. Gerda is also an artist, less well known, but employed as a portrait painter of celebrities. Their marriage is strong and full of love.

Everything changes when Gerda asks her husband to pose as a model and wear a woman’s outfit to complete her painting. The experience changes the couple’s entire life. Einar notices that when he is Lili, he is able to realize himself at his truest and begins to live as a woman. Gerda, on the other hand, finds a new muse in Lili and matures into a new blossoming as an artist. The couple also has to face the prejudices of the surrounding society. They leave their home country for a more open-minded Paris. Again and again, Gerda shows her support for Lili.
