Aina and his wife Gerda were both painters. But Aina's landscapes were well known, and Gerda's figures were not particularly appreciated compared to her husband's.
First women's wear
One day, Gerda asked Ulla (a good friend of the couple, a dancer) to work as a model. But Ulla had something to postpone. Gerda offered to let Aina wear stockings and women's shoes so that he could draw a part of it first.
Because of the folds in the skirt, she also asked Aina to wear a skirt.
Formal women's clothing
Aina had always disliked going to social occasions like the prom, where he thought everyone was disguising themselves and was tired.
Then Gerda suggested that since it was a disguise, it was better to change herself completely. It is better to put on makeup, dress like a girl, and then make up an identity and say that she is Aina's cousin Lily.
Gerda then began to teach Aina how to walk and how to put on makeup, and Aina also imitated women's looks and movements in her daily life.
The movements are becoming more and more feminine
The two go to the prom together
At the ball, Gerda was asked by her female companion to talk. And Lily (Aina) was also asked out by a male (Hencory).
Hencory is a homosexual, and he sees that Lily is actually a man. He thought that Aina was too, so he became interested in Aina.
When Gerda finished communicating and found that her husband was no longer at the ball, she began to look for him. However, he accidentally saw Aina and Hencory kissing each other.
Aina, who had been bumped into, pushed Henkerry away and ran home.
Back home, early the next morning, Gerda felt that her husband had gone too far. She began to make it clear to him that he couldn't play Lily anymore. Aina should be her husband back.
Gerda was very guilty, thinking that he had made her husband like this.
But in Aina's heart, there has always been a Lily. He wanted to live as a woman as Lily. The idea has been around for a long time, but Gerda made it a reality for the first time.
In the days that followed, Aina did not keep his promise, and from time to time he would meet Hencory as "Lily". But the two did not behave in any other way.
Both of them, one longing to be a woman and the other liking a man, were not accepted at the time. So the two of them have a feeling of pity for each other. For Aina, it is only in the presence of Henkory that he seems to be truly immersed in the identity of "Lily".
Finally, Aina admits to Gerda that she still can't let go of "Lily" and says that only Lily is the real person.
Meanwhile, before attending the ball, Gerda painted many portraits of Lily. These paintings were appreciated by the owners of the dealers. He also invited Gerda to Paris to hold an exhibition.
Gerda felt that her husband was ill and wanted to take him to an exhibition with him, as well as to see a doctor in Paris. (They had also looked at it before, and the result was an endocrine disorder.) ）
A trip to Paris
Aina is becoming more and more Lily, and his daily life is shown as "Lily".
In Paris, Aina saw a lot of doctors, but came to the conclusion that it was a disease such as schizophrenia.
At the same time, Aina confessed to Gerda that she had a male friend when she was a teenager who liked him, but the two had only kissed once. The man's name was Hans, and he was now a famous dealer.
Gerda accepted Lily. Lily suggested that since Lily had returned, it would be better to continue to let Gerda paint Lily's portrait.
At the celebration of the exhibition, someone quipped about Gerda why her husband did not come to celebrate with her. Gerda was very disappointed, but it was difficult to say anything.
When she got home, Lily made dinner at home and said it was time for just the two of them.
Stimulated outside, Gerda could not bear it any longer. She asked Lily when she would be able to return her husband, although it was difficult, but could she at least try it?
Gerda is heartbroken, and she begs Aina to stop playing the role-playing game.
However, Aina only wants to be Lily. In his mind, there were countless mornings when he saw that he was Aina and wanted to destroy himself. But I was afraid that this would ruin Lily, so I could only endure.
Desperate, Gerda finds Hans, hoping he will wake up Aina. She told Lily that they and Hans would be having dinner together. Unexpectedly, Lily made a promise, and when Gerda took Hans home to visit, she saw Lily sitting on the sofa.
Lily said to Hans that Aina was out. And she was Aina's cousin. In fact, Hans could see at a glance that Lily was Aina. But he couldn't bear to prick her. Gerda wants to wake up Aina by showing Hans a landscape painting of Aina, but Lily refuses.
Later, on Ulla's recommendation, the couple went to visit a Professor Warnaconos. The professor said he had met a man as confused as Aina, who had a surgery to turn a man into a woman. The surgery is divided into two sessions, one is to remove the male traits and the second is to increase the female traits. But the man, out of fear, fled the day before the operation.
Aina said she would love to have the surgery. Only by becoming Lily can you live happily. Gerda was worried, but he didn't stop him.
surgery
The professor's hospital was far away, and Gerda wanted to go with Aina, but was stopped by Aina. So Gerda and Hans just went to the train station to bid farewell to Aina.
At the farewell, Hans said to Aina, "I haven't liked a few people in my life, and you've got two." (This sentence means that he supports Aina's change.) He'd like Lily as much as he liked Aina. ）
The first surgery was a success, but it was painful. Gerda, who was relieved to be Unable to accept Aina, came to the hospital to take care of her.
Back home, Lily gave up painting (she hadn't painted since he became Lily) and went to the supermarket to sell. Lily gets along well with her co-workers and enjoys her new life.
Gerda lives with Lily, dresses her, dresses her, wears her makeup.
Lily also met with Hencory once and told him that the operation was an operation to correct God's mistakes.
The second surgery is coming, but it's more sinister and riskier than the first.
The professor explains the situation to Gerda, who is worried about Lily and does not want her to go. But Lily's heart was broken.
When Lily had finished her second surgery, Gerda came to her bedside.
The operation was unsuccessful and Lily was about to lose her life.
Gerda and Lily sat together, and the two talked.
Lily is dead...
The film ends with Gerda and Hans, who ascend to the top of the mountain and throw Lily's scarf into the air.
The author has something to say
I was very depressed to watch this movie. Lily was brave, but Gerda was great.
I don't know how much I can love someone, and Gerda likes Aina. But she respects Aina's inner choice.
This woman is great, she knows that her husband likes to be a woman more and more, does not abandon him, protects him, takes care of him, does not abandon, I feel sorry for her, she is actually innocent, she is also entangled, but also too helpless, but it is to love him, let her help him again and again, protect him. Real events, intriguing.
Then I felt that the male protagonist was actually very selfish, he could not restrain himself, but he hurt his wife who loved him deeply.
The author's language performance is too weak, and this movie is really good. Recommend everyone to see.
