So, Anna is sent to the seaside. To stay with relatives. Hoping the fresh air will do her good. Will it work?
She discovers an old mansion. Across the marsh. This place…it's abandoned. Or is it?
That's where she meets Marnie. A mysterious girl. With flowing blonde hair. And a playful spirit. Their friendship blossoms. It's like something out of a dream. Is Marnie real though? Hmm...
