Wife to a successful husband and mother of three children living in a beautiful house, Nora (Jessica Chastain) seems to lead the perfect life on the surface. However, Nora is not satisfied with her lack of power as a housewife and how her role is conceived as seemingly frivolous.
In order to save her husband's life, Nora secretly takes out a loan, which leads to conflict with her husband. Determined to establish her independence, Nora challenges her gender role and the status quo....
