It’s about the five March sisters who live with their loving mother in the country while the civil war is raging.
Liaisons arise, they fall apart again and each of the sisters tries somehow to find their place in the world. On the one hand, the film offers many feminist points of contact, because Gerwig interprets the story a bit more modern than the older versions, on the other hand this is a fantastic film about Family and sorority. The Little Women talk about each other, bustle around each other and even if you didn’t grow up with so many siblings yourself, the film is very pleasant Feeling of solidarity and familywithout completely sinking into kitsch. A masterpiece and a great recommendation for the colder days that feels like balm on the soul.

All are unmarried and are looking for a partner for life. When the mysterious Mr. Darcy finally moves into the neighborhood, a love-hate relationship develops with the second oldest sister Elisabeth.
What is to be praised about the series is that it sticks to Austen’s original and can therefore draw all the characters much more sensitively. But what is really great is that you can sink into this kitschy world for much longer than in the later feature film. Is particularly suitable for a Pot of tea and plenty of pastries To forget the real world out there for a long moment.
