Centered around the family home and Christmas approaching, Nora is busy, sharing lighthearted moments with her husband, Torvald. However, remembering her past struggles and secret sacrifices for her husband's well-being, Nora's joy gives way to inner conflict, hinting at deeper problems in her marriage and her journey of self-discovery ahead.
