Nora is sheltered first by her father and then by her husband. All her life, she has been protected like a fragile possession ... like a doll in a doll's house. After she marries, Nora becomes frustrated, realizes that under the dominance of her husband she will never have an identity of her own, and leaves to find a new life for herself.

Based on the play, "Et dukkehjem," written by Henrik Ibsen in 1879. Videocassette release of the 1973 motion picture.
