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.
