While exploring the gardens and fields, they meet a friendly boy named Jeffrey who brings excitement and friendship into their lives. Together, they embark on whimsical adventures filled with laughter, mishaps, and the magic of childhood. Through their experiences, the sisters learn about growing up, sisterhood, and the importance of family as they navigate the challenges and joys of summer.
