With the "Millennium" trilogy, Swedish journalist and author Stieg Larsson became one of the most read and successful writers in Europe. He did not live to see the success of his three novels, which were only the first of ten planned volumes, as Larsson died in 2004 from the effects of a heart attack. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Girl Who Played with Fire," and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" were published posthumously. Filmmaker and Larsson expert Guillaume Lebeau, along with illustrator Rébéna, recounts the short life of the driven author, whose political and journalistic legacy is often overshadowed by the hype surrounding his bestselling books. In three snapshots, Lebeau and Rébéna illustrate the events and people that shaped Larsson's political and artistic career: a snowy winter day in the forests of N. comes to life.
