    • Trivia
      Alma Pöysti, who plays Tove Jansson, is the granddaughter of Lasse Pöysti and Birgitta Ulfsson, who worked with Tove Jansson and portrayed Moomin in the theatre and on TV in the series Mumintrollet (1969). That series was directed by Vivica Bandler, Tove Jansson's lover.
    • Goofs
      Tove is ordered to make an invitation card for Mayor Erik von Frenckell's 70th birthday, which would have been in 1957 and having done that, is ordered to make a wall painting in Helsinki City Hall, which was made in 1947, so the birthday would have been EVF's 60th.

    A warm story of one of the most beloved Finnish writers/cartoonists/artists

    The story focuses on Tove Janssons formative years as an artist, during which time she also developed her most known characters, the moomins a lot. The film is well made, acting is top notch (especially Alma Pöysti in the lead role) and left me with a warm feeling. Don't expect a dramatic epoch or an intense drama with unexpected twist and turns.
