Features: Mary is a British girl living in India. Her parents are always busy with work or social engagements, leaving her entirely in the hands of a nanny. Lacking parental love, Mary grows up stubborn and temperamental, treating others arrogantly. A cholera epidemic claims the lives of her parents, and she is forced to travel alone to her uncle in a remote English estate. However, the estate is filled with a mysterious atmosphere: one hundred locked rooms, a garden that has never been entered in ten years, and occasional wailing sounds at night. Mary decides to secretly uncover the mystery. Later, she meets Colin, her uncle's only son—a frail boy who has lost faith in life and is also tyrannical and stubborn. Together, they become a nightmare for the entire estate. But when another country boy, Dickon, appears in their lives and guides them to the vibrant embrace of nature, everything begins to change, and all the secrets are revealed.
