Trapp Family Story, The
TV (40 eps) | 1991 | Nippon Animation
Based on the classic musical "The Sound of Music", The Trapp Family Story follows a young woman named Maria as she struggles to find a path for herself. After traveling to Salzburg, Austria to join a strict catholic nunnery, Maria finds that she isn't adjusting to the life of a nun as easily as she'd like. Due to inevitable conflicts with other more stodgy nuns, Maria is soon shipped out to tutor the young daughter of Baron von Trapp – a recent widow with seven children. It is here, amidst the Alps, that Maria will learn a great deal about love, life, and herself.
