Plot

Touko Laaksonen, a war hero, returns to a challenging peacetime in Finland after World War II, only to face a society that persecutes homosexuals and pressures men into traditional roles. Struggling with the oppressive environment, he discovers solace in his art, creating bold homoerotic illustrations of muscular men. Through his distinctive style, he develops the iconic persona ‘Tom of Finland,’ which resonates with a generation and becomes a symbol of liberation. His work not only reflects his personal journey but also ignites a cultural shift, fueling the gay rights movement.
