Little Women

The film tells the story of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth—who come of age in America in the aftermath of the Civil War. The spirited Jo, a tomboy in search of male companionship, strikes up a friendship with Theodore "Laurie" Laurence, the grandson of the March's wealthy, but cantankerous neighbor, James Laurence. As the weeks pass, Laurie's affection for Jo grows, but Jo rebuffs him as a suitor, claiming that although she loves him as a friend, she will never marry. The family is later reunited when Laurie arranges for the surprise return of Mr. March.
