In den 1920er Jahren führt der dänische Maler Einar Wegener mit seiner Frau Gerda, einer ebenfalls erfolgreichen Künstlerin, ein bewegtes Leben zwischen Dänemark, Frankreich und Italien. Als Gerda ihn eines Tages bittet, ihr in Frauenkleidern Modell zu stehen, setzt sie eine Entwicklung in Gang, deren Ende sich keiner von beiden vorstellen kann. Zum Spaß tritt Einar immer öfter bei gesellschaftlichen Anlässen als geheimnisvolle Frau namens »Lili« auf. Doch aus dem Spiel wird bald ein ernster innerer Konflikt. Schmerzhaft ringt Einar um seine Identität, bis er sich schließlich in Berlin und Dresden mehreren Operationen unterzieht, um fortan als Lili Elbe weiterzuleben. Neuausgabe des Bestsellers von 1932 - Mit einem Nachwort von Rainer Herrn.
