Mary Lennox is a young girl, ten years old, who lived in India with her parents. However, they have died due to a terrible epidemic that is ravaging their country. The young girl travels to England to live with her uncle, who is wealthy and owns a huge mansion.
Poor Mary has no friends and nothing to do there but explore and wander around the huge mansion.
One day, during one of her walks, she discovers a strange garden locked behind ivy-covered walls. This gives the young girl a little motivation and interest that she lacked until now. She will discover a magical place she could not even have imagined and will learn to enjoy the contact with nature.
