A Doll's House

On the outside, the home of the lawyer Helmer seems like a cozy little dollhouse, and his wife Nora looks like a carefree toy whose life is nothing but frivolity. But behind this façade there lies a desperate act that Nora once committed for love—and now the secret threatens to destroy everything. When the truth finally comes to light, the heroine for the first time wonders whether she was something more than just a doll, and whether she has the right to her own life.
