The Wild Duck

About the show

Idealist Gregers Werle exposes the affair between his father and Gina Ekdal to Gina's husband Hjalmar. As he presses the family to live by absolute truth, their fragile domestic peace collapses and Hjalmar rejects his daughter Hedvig. Hoping to regain his love, Hedvig attempts to sacrifice the wounded wild duck but instead shoots herself; Gregers and the doctor Relling then dispute whether the truth has helped anyone.
