Unveiling the hidden genius of Hilma af Klint, the artist who redefined Modernism and abstract painting, this film showcases her revolutionary work and journey. From legendary Academy nominee Lasse Hallström

This is the story of Hilma af Klint, the woman who defied conventions and revolutionised the art world when her work was exhibited in 2019 at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC.

Hilma died in 1944, unknown and certainly not recognised as the woman who invented abstract painting, displacing Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian as the initiators of abstract painting and Modernism.

From her adoration of the Austrian spiritualist Rudolf Steiner to her unconventional romantic life, the film provides a nuanced portrait of a woman who chose to remain faithful to her vision as an artist, despite working in a hostile, misogynistic world that did not expect women to express themselves.
