The story

The story is told as a flashback of the twenty-year-old Mary Lennox (Irina Brook) returning to Misselthwaite Manor after World War I, during which she worked as a nurse in a hospital. She looks for the key to the secret garden, but does not find it, so she sits down and remembers her troubled, lonely girlhood a decade ago. The main story begins in colonial India with the young, neglected, and selfish Mary Lennox (Gennie James) waking in the night to find her servants not answering and her parents having a late dinner party.
