In the winter of 1912 in a little provincial town in Norway, a little girl is born whose whole body is covered in fine blonde hairs. For scientists of the time an interesting case, a curiosity. Eva's mother dies in childbirth and her father stationmaster Arctander at first rejects all contact with his "lion girl". Shut away, far from the curious eyes of the outside world, little Eva creates her own world until one day she finds the courage to escape the constrictions of her life. (Filmfest Hamburg)

The Norwegians know how to create commercially interesting topics following Hollywood's example. The Lion Woman is one of them and I doubt that anyone would find the plot boring. The setting of Norway at the beginning of the 20th century was great. The topic can evoke emotions. It can make you cry, but it can also add energy to life. Eventually, you will realize that it is a classic story about a strong woman, which is a popular theme nowadays, but you will definitely not mind, because in that story is everything that makes a good movie for an evening program from similar topics.
