New York City
Sommergufl
$18
Spotlighting subject matter that’s recently come to the forefront of the American consciousness due to the successes and advocacy work of transgendered women such as Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner, Sommerfugl is a story of fearless transformation and love, inspired by the true story of Lili Elbe, the first person to have gender reassignment surgery in 1930 in Germany, and her wife, Grete, who remained by her side until the end. It is a story about transformation and authenticity, but it is also about the power of love and the people in our lives who help us to become who we are truly meant to be.
