A kid finds an amnesiac girl in the Swiss Alps and raises her. Years later, she chases a half-remembered song back to who she really is. The premise is impossibly gentle for a show this ambitious, and the 1985 orchestral score turns every quiet moment into something you'll hum for weeks after it ends. The storytelling gets tangled trying to fit too much into twenty episodes. What survives is the emotional core: two people rebuilding a life together, then learning that life was always about saying goodbye. A show built on the weight of memory and the sound of a melody you can't quite place.
While out in the Swiss countryside, Randy comes across a little girl who appears to be the lone survivor of a plane crash. She remembers nothing, so he looks after her, gives her the name Judy, and the two spend their childhood side by side. Years later, at sixteen, Judy wants to learn where she came from, and Randy sets out with her. Her only lead is a song called Alpine Rose that keeps playing in her mind. With a world war raging around them, the pair face one hardship after another, relying on each other for comfort and strength in a drama about their deepening love.
