However, John was imprisoned for eight years for being involved in an unsavory incident.

After being released from prison, he is confined to his room alone,

clinging on to the glory of the past.

His wife, Gunhild Borkman, blocked all interactions with John in the same house

Believing his son Erhard will restore all her prestige,

Obsessed with Erhard, who is passionate and vigorous,

she is eating away at him little by little.

Then one winter night,

In the cold winter, in the snowstorm

They flash back to their own brilliant past....
