"We can always trust the presence of spirits. They surround us and are always ready to communicate with us." Juno Films in the US has unveiled a new official trailer for a biopic film titled Hilma, directed by director Lasse Hallström. It's a Swedish movie but most of it is in English anyway. We also released a trailer a few months ago for its UK release. It will open from April in the United States. The film explores the incredible life of Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, who is now widely recognized as one of the first abstract artists in the western world. A story about an unwavering search for the truth about humanity and the universe at a time when men made all the rules. Exploration of the enigmatic life of Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), whose unconventional and highly spiritual art went largely unrecognized for decades. With Lena Olin, Lily Cole and Tora Hallström, as well as "Game of Thrones" Tom Wlaschiha and "Mr. Robot's" Martin Wallström. It feels like a very beautiful film about the life of an artist, and how she persevered despite all the challenges.

Follows Hilma af Klint as she grows up as a curious and scientifically interested young girl, avidly seeking the wisdom of life and death. After the tragic death of her beloved sister, Hilma feels a heightened sense of spiritual and philosophical ideas. While attending the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, she met a circle of female artists who shared her passion. Together they found "The Five" and create occult practices in an attempt to communicate with the spirits of the higher world. Eventually her search for the higher realms is rewarded and she manages to convey the spiritual world through the painting, leaving her with a painting unlike anything else in the art world. She convinced her five companions to join her in her vision, creating a spiritual house full of spirit-guided artwork, in a spiral-shaped building. However, the world proves that it is not yet ready to understand the seriousness and pioneering nature of Hilma's paintings...
