A movie based on a heartbreaking true story set in 1930s Denmark, where Einar Wegner played by tremendously talented Eddie Redmayne becomes the first transgender person to undergo a sex reassignment surgery. Gerda, played by Alicia Vikander progressed to the leading role rather than the supporting actor according to us.
