In rural Sweden, a young Astrid Lindgren rebels against the limitations of her strict religious upbringing, yearning for independence.

Astrid must then confront a complicated network of relationships and make personal sacrifices while striving to protect her burgeoning creativity and discover the strength to define her own future.
