Et dukkehjem

2013

A quiet, suffocating portrait of a perfect life that feels hollow, watching a woman slowly realize she doesn't know herself.

Directed by
Tobias Gundorff Boesen
Genres
Drama
Starring
Thomas Levin, Ella Louise Bertelsen, Martin Hestbæk
Overview
Nora lives a perfect life in her perfect home with her perfect husband Helmer. But inside, something feels completely wrong. A nagging doubt has begun to haunt her. Unable to recognize herself, she has begun to long for something she does not know what is. The film is a modern paraphrase of Henrik Ibsen's classic story about Nora and Helmer – a story that, in light of our modern performance-oriented society, has taken on new meaning.
