Answering the question "Whatever happened to Nora Helmer?", Searching for Nora tells the story of Henrik Ibsen's iconic protagonist from A Doll's House: Leaving her husband and young children behind, Nora sets off on a journey that takes her from the streets of 1880s Norway to the harsh Minnesota prairie in search of love, purpose, and her true self.
