"When We Dead Awaken" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in 1899. Sculptor Arnold Rubek encounters Irena, the model who inspired his greatest masterpiece years ago. Both feel spiritually dead since their collaboration ended—he trapped in fame without inspiration, she convinced he stole her soul for art. As they reunite at a mountain spa, their tangled past resurfaces alongside dangerous obsessions. Meanwhile, Arnold's neglected wife seeks freedom elsewhere. The pairs ascend toward an uncertain fate as a storm gathers.
