Synopsis

The main source of income for a small Norwegian town and the key to many people’s livelihoods is the local medicinal water. However, the mayor’s brother, Dr. Stockmann, discovers that those people who wish to recover are at serious risk of infection, because the waters of the healing springs are poisoned.

Faced with a distortion of power, the doctor is ready for a social action. With his family on his side, he sets out to make the miracle that redeems everything come true.
