A Writer Named Tove

An audio collage of interviews and poetry readings is woven together with some lovely animations and takes a look at how life and literature came together for Tove Ditlevsen. It is with life at stake that writing comes about, and with a life lived as the basic element of literature itself. We meet both the white-wine-drinking, outspoken Tove, and the frail, lonely soul, who defines the woman who has gifted us with so many words and feelings – from 'Early Spring' and well into adulthood. She has always been there, but keeps on being rediscovered from fresh angles with each new generation of readers.
