Synopsis:

In the Austrian countryside of the 1930s, a spirited young woman named Maria finds herself unexpectedly called from the quiet seclusion of a convent. Entrusted with the care of Captain Georg Trapp’s seven children, Maria navigates the challenges of a life vastly different from her own. The narrative explores themes of familial bonds, personal growth, and the transformative power of unconventional approaches to nurturing. Set against a picturesque backdrop of rolling hills and rustic homes, the story highlights the interplay between tradition and individual expression within a close-knit community. The anime focuses on Maria's efforts to connect with the children, fostering a sense of joy and freedom while grappling with her own internal conflicts and adapting to a new role she never anticipated.
