The film is not in the chronological order of the book and has scenes going to and fro from different times in the book. The story in the film is a much later part of the book. The plot of the film goes as per the four sisters Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth shown in the earlier stage of their life and the latter stage where Meg is married with two children; Amy is well settled in Paris; Jo is a writer in New York; and how Beth's illness brings her back to Concord, Massachusetts.
