Little Women

Adaptation of the classic Louisa May Alcott story. The March sisters must fend for themselves when their father goes to fight in the American Civil War.

The March sisters live and grow in post-Civil War America. While their father is away fighting in the Civil War, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy grow up with their mother in somewhat reduced circumstances. They are a close family who inevitably have their squabbles and tragedies but their bond sustains them even when, later, male friends start to become a part of the household.
