A golden bracelet holds a secret that makes every moment of affection between Georgie and her family a knife wound. The show commits entirely to the slow burn of a girl discovering who she actually is, surrounded by men who love her without knowing why it's complicated. Animation from 1983 has no right to be this lush, this alive with longing, but here it is carrying the weight of a century-old mystery that redefines what family means by the time it breaks open.
Georgie arrives at an Australian farm as an infant, carried home from the woods by the farmer who raises her. She wears a golden bracelet that holds a terrible secret she knows nothing about. Her adoptive father and her two adoptive brothers, Abel and Arthur, adore her, while her adoptive mother sees her as an intruder and cannot open her heart to the girl. As Georgie grows into a beautiful young woman, both brothers fall deeply in love with her. Unaware of the truth, she falls for the handsome grandson of the British Governor. When her mother finally reveals her origins and condemns her as the daughter of an exile, Georgie sets out for Britain to find her real parents and the man she loves, who has also left Australia. Abel and Arthur follow her, and the three are drawn into a harsh world of London aristocracy, deceit and intrigue in this romantic drama.
