Ibsen's forensic examination of a marriage as it falls apart, in a version by Richard Eyre.

How is a life well-lived? Alfred Allmers comes home to his wife Rita and makes a decision. Casting aside his writing, he dedicates himself to raising his son. But one event is about to change his life forever.
