    2017     Drama    
    Finland/Sweden/Denmark
    1h 55min
    Original lang: English, Finnish, German

    Touko Laaksonen, a decorated officer, returns home after a harrowing and heroic experience serving his country in World War II, but life in Finland during peacetime proves equally distressing. He finds post-war Helsinki rampant with homophobic persecution, and men around him even being pressured to marry women and have children. Touko finds refuge in his liberating art, specializing in homoerotic drawings of muscular men. His work -- made famous by his signature 'Tom of Finland' -- became the emblem of a generation of men and fanned the flames of a gay revolution.
