Helsinki, 1945. The end of the war brings a new sense of artistic and social freedom for painter Tove Jansson. While focusing her artistic dreams on painting, the enchanting tales of the ‘Moomin’ creatures she told to scared children in bomb shelters, rapidly take on a life of their own, bringing international fame.

Gösta Ekman and Kent Andersson play two men, living together for a long time. One a small, skinny and unknown poet - the other a large, famous and celebrated actor.
