Heidi is orphaned and her uncaring maternal Aunt Dete takes her to the mountains to live with her reclusive, grumpy paternal grandfather, Adolph Kramer. Heidi brings her grandfather back into mountain society through her sweet ways and sheer love. When Dete later returns and steals Heidi away to become the companion of a rich man's wheelchair-bound daughter, the grandfather is heartsick to discover his little girl missing and immediately sets out to get her back.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot summary of the 1937 adaptation of 'Heidi' focuses entirely on family separation, reunion, and personal redemption through love and connection, set primarily in the Swiss Alps. There is no indication that the story occurs during or centers around the Christmas season."
