In 1920s Copenhagen, the illustrator and artist Gerda Wegener asks her husband, Einar Wegener, also known as Lili Elbe (Kidman) to stand in for a female model. The popularity of the portraits leads to Gerda painting her husband in further pictures as a woman. Einar develops an attraction for a female physical appearance and begins to relinquish his life as a male. Ultimately Elbe becomes the first ever recipient of male to female sex reassignment surgery, and Gerda supports the decision, although their marriage becomes strained when Gerda comes to the realization that Einar, now Lili, is no longer the man she married.
In September 2009, Alfredson revealed to Variety that the production on the project would precede that of his upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy LESS
