The drama unfolds around the life of Mrs. Helen Alving, who is preparing to honor the memory of her deceased husband through the unveiling of a memorial, while navigating complex family dynamics and societal expectations. The play touches upon themes of morality, legacy, and the hidden truths that haunt families, with characters such as her son Oswald, Pastor Manders, and the manipulative carpenter Jacob Engstrand.

Mrs. Alving, with her maid Regina and Pastor Manders, discusses preparations for the memorial and reveals her thoughts on the nature of societal perceptions.
