​

Nora Helmer has the perfect suburban life: three children, a comfortable home, and a newly promoted husband, Torvald, who treats her like a cherished doll. But years ago, to save Torvald's life, Nora secretly borrowed money by forging her father's signature. Now Nils Krogstad, a bank employee Torvald is about to fire, threatens to expose her, and over three tense days, Nora is forced to see her marriage clearly for the first time.

 

Ibsen's 1879 drama scandalized its first audiences. Set here in anywhere America in the late 1950s, an era of picture-perfect homes and unspoken limits, Nora's final choice hits as hard as ever.
