Road to Avonlea (1990)
Return to a world of gentle breezes, sun-dappled fields, and heartwarming stories where friendship blossoms and dreams take flight.
Based on the novels of L.M. Montgomery, the creator of Anne of Green Gables, Road to Avonlea invites you to the charming Prince Edward Island town where life moves at a slower pace and the bonds of community are stronger than any storm.
After the death of her wealthy mother, Sara Stanley (Sarah Polley), a privileged city girl from Montreal, is sent to live with her two maiden aunts, Hetty King (Jackie Burroughs) and Olivia King Dale (Mag Ruffman), in the small town of Avonlea. Initially feeling out of place and overwhelmed by the simple life, Sara gradually discovers the joys of friendship, the importance of family, and the magic that lies hidden within the everyday.
As she adjusts to life in Avonlea, Sara becomes entangled in the lives of her cousins, her neighbors, and the colorful characters who populate the town. From the stern but loving Hetty King, the schoolteacher who becomes Sara’s mentor, to the mischievous but loyal Felicity King (Gema Zamprogna), Sara learns valuable lessons about love, loss, and the importance of staying true to herself.
Road to Avonlea is more than just a family drama – it’s a celebration of community, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Through its stunning cinematography and heartfelt performances, the series creates a world where kindness triumphs over adversity, and where every episode leaves you feeling a little bit warmer inside.
