Film biography of one of the most important figures of gay culture of the 20th century.
Finnish cartoonist, Touko Laaksonen, returns from the front of World War II to the native Helsinki. At the same time, Finland and many other European countries are caught up in the wave of homophobia and repression against gays. Unable to fulfill his desires, Touko seeks freedom in art. Thus, the first homoerotic drawings depicting muscular men in leather and jeans are produced. Despite his hard work, he has not been able to publish his work in any magazine. It is only Touko's trip to the US that opens the way to the general public. This is the "Tom of Finland", the symbol of the gay revolution.
