Synopsis: Film based on the life of author Hans Christian Andersen and three of his stories - The Shadow, The Story of a Mother and The Ugly Duckling - goes through the great storyteller's life from beginning to end: the hardships, including his learning to cope with fear; the guiding light of a loving mother; the thwarted early ambition of becoming a ballet dancer; the inevitable unrequited love, the sexual dreaming; and the rewards and temptations of fame and travel. In short, the stuff and substance of Andersen's entire life and literary oeuvre.
