Even innocent heroines tend to have their secrets…
Nora and Torvald Helmer’s marriage appears to be a perfect one – he’s got a career and she’s the cutest little devoted wife an ambitious man could ever ask for. However, Nora has recently committed a minor fraud to help her husband. Now she’s getting blackmailed… This famous play by Ibsen, seen as utterly scandalous in its time, is still surprisingly relevant. Nora’s final decision seemed immorally emancipated back then, and the author’s ironic insight scrutinises not only this decision, but also the doll Nora herself. It was directed by Jan Nebeský, whose previous adaptations of Ibsen have been highly critically acclaimed, even at prestigious international festivals.
