Bag Blixens Maske plot

In 1952 the young literature professor Aage Hendrixen meets the then 66-year-old writer Karen Blixen. From that moment on, a complicated friendship develops, which takes on bizarre forms over the years and has a huge impact on the life of married Aage. In public, Blixen, who became best known for her later filmed novel Out of Africa, calls herself a storyteller. But to intimates she is the 'devil's mistress'. Her life is full of dark aspects, which fascinates Aage so much that he ends up in the supernatural world himself. During walks, he tells his son Morten, who is then about ten years old, everything about Blixen, including the occult details. Morten doesn't understand exactly what he is being told, but the stories make a deep impression...
