"A dramatization of Henrik Ibsen's play of the same title, about a middle class family whose illusions of happiness and comfort are shattered by the arrival of a self-proclaimed truthteller."@en
"Dalla pièce di Ibsen. È la storia di una famiglia (padre, madre, nonno e figlia piccola) che vive abbastanza tranquilla, paga della propria mediocrità. Ma la bambina in realtà è figlia di un altro, e un giorno la verità è rivelata dal figlio del vecchio amante. Ma il capofamiglia non affronta la realtà. Nemmeno quando la bambina muore assieme all'anitra che era il simbolo del precario equilibrio della famiglia."
