This is not a biography of Tom of Finland the provocative / pornographic artist.
Instead, it is the life story of the man whom we became known as Tom of Finland in later life. For much of his film, Tom of Finland is a soldier and then an advertising man who photographed men who would later be the subjects of his infamous sketches. The distinctive, stylized pencil work develops and is refined throughout the film. We can now understand whence came this erotic work and its distinctive style.
