The film is an adaptation of the 1965 Oscar award-winning musical Sound of Music, which was based on the autobiography of Maria Von Trapp in 1949. Changes were made to suit the local setting, and the film avoids politics altogether; the film ends with the marriage of Maria and the Captain.[3] The film was shot in picturesque hill country areas capturing the natural attractions of the island.[4]

Plot
Maria (Pooja Umashankar), a young and beautiful music-loving girl enters a convent with the intention of becoming a Catholic nun. Her playful behavior and strong desire to make music create difficulties with the convent's administration. She is sent away to become a governess to the seven children of a widowed ex-navy captain (Ashan Dias).
