Die Malerin des Nordlichts

A life for art, a life for love. Norway 1922: Signe is talented, ambitious, and above all, free! She has finally freed herself from her unhappy marriage and from a man who has no understanding of her great passion, painting. In her youth, she learned about the vibrant Oslo bohemia alongside her uncle, the genius Edvard Munch. Now, Signe is taking lessons from Paul Gauguin's son. She has vowed to dedicate her life solely to art. She wants to leave behind a body of work that, like her uncle's paintings, moves and stirs people. Then she meets Einar and falls head over heels in love with him. When he joins the resistance, Signe realizes that sometimes you have to risk everything – in love and in art. "Few life stories have fascinated me as much as that of Signe Munch – I want to tell hers!" Lena Johannson.
