Watch on Soap2day. The play of the century, "Peer Gynt" by Henrik Ibsen, in the Munich Volkstheater. A young person in search of his "I": Peer Gynt. We see him at the lonely farm, from where he comes and to where he returns as a slave trader in Morocco, as Emperor in an asylum in Egypt, clutching a plank in the high seas. Three women accompany his life story.
