Ghosts begins as Helene Alvingprepares for the opening of anorphanage, built in memory of herlate husband. Her beloved artist son,Oswald, has returned from Paris tohonour the occasion, but his long-awaited homecoming rapidlydescends into tragedy as hispresence triggers the exposure of adark story of hypocrisy and betrayedlove.
