Synopsis
Nora Helmer, wife to Torvald and mother of three children, appears to enjoy living the life of a pampered, indulged child.
But as her economic dependence becomes brutally clear, Nora's acceptance of the status quo undergoes a profound change.
To the horror of the bewildered Torvald, himself caught in the tight web of a conservative society which demands that he exert strict control, Nora comes to see that the only possible true course of action is to leave the family home.
