Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are two farming brothers. Both are now old, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the land alone, so they decide to adopt a boy who can help them. However, someone makes a mistake and from the orphanage it is not who they expect but Ana, an eleven-year-old girl, who arrives. Redhead, with a face covered in freckles and a lot of character, her inexhaustible imagination and vitality will have to conquer the taciturn farmer and her skeptical lady, who at first welcome her with long faces and think about returning her to her place of origin.
