This timeless classic follows the story of Maria, a young woman who leaves a convent to become the governess for a widowed naval captain’s seven children in the Austrian Alps. As Maria brings joy and music to the family, she forms a deep bond with the children and eventually falls in love with the captain. However, their happiness is threatened by the onset of World War II, leading the family to flee their homeland and seek refuge in Switzerland. The story culminates in the family's escape to safety.
