Orphaned Heidi is sent to live with her reclusive grandfather in the Swiss Alps, where she forms a deep bond with him and her friend Peter. Despite her initial joy, she's brought to Frankfurt to be a companion to a wealthy, sickly girl, but her spirit longs for the freedom of her mountain home. Heidi eventually finds a way back to the Alps, bringing hope and healing to those she left behind.
