Ibsen's play is about truth and liee, failure and death. Hjalmar Ekdal, a photographer, is living from one day to another with his wife who has a stained past, a daughter close to blindness, and an alcoholic father. Each is hiding something from the others, so that the "vital lie" is the unique chance of balance in the family. Hjalmar boasts that he will make a big discovery which will make him very rich, but he does nothing but waste time. His father has a rabbit breeding and a wild duck in the loft, and each morning he hunts. Into this strange atmosphere appears the son of a great businessman and an old friend of Hjalmar Ekdal. His attempts to make Hjalmar renounce the lie which dominates their lives has only one, tragic consequence: the suicide of the photographer's daughter, Hedvig.  Claudiu Groza
