Description
Teenaged Astrid Lindgren, future author of Pippi Longstocking, leads a restrictive life in rural Sweden. Eager to break free from her conservative upbringing, she accepts an internship at a local newspaper where she attracts the attention of its married editor. After Astrid becomes pregnant, she leaves home to give birth to a son, whom she reluctantly leaves with a foster mother. When the foster mother falls ill and Astrid regains custody, she uses her imagination and gift for storytelling to reconnect with her child.
