Renowned director Lasse Hallström (My Life As A Dog, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Chocolat) tells the extraordinary life story of Hilma af Klint, a Swedish painter who revolutionized the art world as one of the first abstract artists but who went largely unrecognized in her lifetime. This handsome biographical drama (starring Tora Hallström as the young Hilma and Lena Olin as the mature Hilma) follows the artist from her early life through her rising artistic career and spiritual awakening after the loss of her beloved younger sister. Hilma also explores af Klint’s spiritualism, her unconventional love life, and the unique philosophical impetus behind her work. In life and art, Hilma af Klint was indeed a woman well ahead of her time.
