Viaplay is bringing the lauded Danish series The Dreamer — Becoming Karen Blixen to North America, and we have an exclusive clip of its first episode.

It's a sexy and intellectual scene that is reminiscent of Blixen's work in Out of Africa and the film — smart and erotic. Set in the 1930s, the series opens as a middle-aged Karen Blixen returns to Denmark a penniless, sick divorcee, forced to depend on her family for help after years of living independently in Kenya. "I had to become this sparrow of a woman,” the actress told The Hollywood Reporter. The Dreamer - Becoming Karen Blixen is the story of one woman’s struggle to find her place in life while freeing herself from the expectations of family and society. We have an exclusive clip from the first episode of The Dreamer — Becoming Karen Blixen, which premieres March 30 on Viaplay.
