Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel comes to life in this adaptation. The March sisters, Jo (Winona Ryder), Meg (Trini Alvarado), Amy (Samantha Mathis), and Beth (Claire Daines) are growing up after the Civil War, where they lost their father. Although they have their normal sisterly squabbles, they are as close as family can be. Meg wants to meet a good man and raise a simple family one day. Amy dreams of living a luxurious and romantic life. Beth loves music and simply loves playing the piano. Jo dreams of being a great author someday. As they are growing up, life gets more complicated with issues such as men and the future. Their life journeys mold them into strong women.
