After the death of her father, Pollyanna moves in with her embittered aunt. Soon, she charms everyone in the village she now calls home — except her cold-hearted aunt who refuses to see the brighter side of life.

Aunt Polly, despite her vast wealth treats Pollyanna more like an stranger than a relative, but when tragedy strikes, Pollyanna's sunny outlook persuades her aunt to confront past ghosts and embrace the promise of happiness.
