Four sisters at Christmas

Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March are sisters. When they learn that their mother is planning to sell Orchard House, the house of their childhood, they are deeply shocked. But the parents cannot afford the urgently needed repairs, and as soon as they are back home after Christmas, the house is supposed to get a new owner. But Jo persuades her sisters to renovate the house on their own in order to keep it. While working on the house, the sisters experience tensions. Amy is frustrated that Teddy, the boy next door, does not notice her. He has lost his heart to Jo. At the same time Meg struggles with feelings for her ex John, whose heart she broke. Jo is completely focused on her career as a writer, but when she meets Marcus, the editor, who is interested in her work, she feels attracted to him. When Amy wipes one out of her sister Jo because she feels that she is being treated badly, a rift develops. The Christmas party as well as the renovation of the house seem to be in ruins.
