A Doll's House

Nora Helmer, a seemingly content housewife in 19th-century Norway, harbors a secret: she forged her deceased father's signature on a loan to save her husband Torvald's life. As Torvald, a rigid bank manager, climbs the social ladder, Nora's secret becomes a ticking time bomb, threatening their marriage and reputation. The arrival of Krogstad, who knows her secret and seeks to exploit it, forces Nora to confront the suffocating constraints of her marriage and societal expectations.
