Ibsen's later masterwork on the cost of success.

Story:

Ruthless and revered architect Halvard Solness is obsessively driven—until a young woman from his past stops him in his tracks. Hilde, a force of unbridled sexual energy coupled with childlike willfulness, enters the master builder’s home and head, trailing mysterious talk of past promises. As she urges the megalomaniacal Solness to ever greater and less sustainable heights, his tragedy-haunted wife Aline watches from the sidelines, an unwilling participant in an off-kilter love triangle.
