An era of monsters. The old is dying and the new has not yet been born. The end of an era, the end of dreams and personal utopias, with money crushing people.

A family that has sunk into the mire and the reaction of the youth who seek a new life. Ibsen does not define how the future will be, but shows it through the flight of young people from dead ends and decay. Through their distancing from the open graves of a family that is destroyed, economically, socially, and above all morally. A society of inhumanity. A work of hell, where the members of society sink in terror.
