  Henrik Ibsen's 1894 play Little Eyolf tells the story of the Allmers family: the father, Alfred, his wife Rita, their crippled nine-year-old son Eyolf, and Alfred's sister Asta.  As the play begins, Alfred has just gotten back from a trip to the mountains, and resolves to spend more time with his son, rather than on intellectual pursuits.  Asta is romantically pursued by Borgheim, an engineer, while the cracks in Alfred and Rita's marriage gradually reveal themselves.  The family receives a visit from the Rat-Wife, and are never the same again. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)Cast:

  DescriptionParis, 1955. Isabelle Duval paints the city’s soul onto canvas, her quiet life upended when Pierre Moreau—a brash artist with Marseille salt in his veins—walks into her world. Together, they build a gallery of dreams, only to find their love tested by a shadowy patron whose obsession with art hides a deadly secret. 
  As Franco’s regime bleeds into Barcelona, a fiery Spanish painter, Sofia Márquez, seeks refuge in their gallery, her crimson-stained canvases exposing a past she can’t escape. But when a forged portrait implicates Sofia in fascist atrocities, Isabelle and Pierre must choose: protect their friend or salvage their crumbling legacy. From the ashes of a burned mural to the glittering lies of Paris’ elite, their journey crescendos in a deadly game of truth and betrayal. 
  Perfect for fans of The Nightingale and The Paris Wife, The Art of Us is a sweeping saga of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between art and resistance. Can a masterpiece outlive its maker—or will the serpent of greed devour them all?
