Being a nun living in a convent is similarly restrictive and unfulfilling for the young girl Maria, who breaks rules to try to change it. The reverend mother decides that Maria, who is not fit to be a nun, should leave and take on a job as governess at the nearby Von Trapp household in Salzburg. The widowed,retired Austrian naval officer, Captain Von Trapp has made his Austrian home one of overly restrictive and harshly enforced discipline, one that, most unintentionally, causes his seven children to be underfed when it comes to joy and love.
When Maria arrives at the Captain’s home, she finds the Captain is strict with his seven children. And she also knows why all teachers have left, because the children make fun of the teachers in order to attract their father’s attention. The Captain demands Maria to treat his children like him but Maria doesn’t do as that. When the Captain goes to Vienna, Maria and the children break all the rules. She even teaches them how to sing. Her gentleness and kindness win the children’s friendship. Through music and various outings, Maria gives the children a taste of a more fulfilling, joyous life than they have ever known, and they come to love her very dearly. When the Captain returns he learns Maria has brought music back into the house and is quite touched. The Captain grows closer to his children, too, coming to understand the value and beauty of the freedoms that Maria has given them.
In his personal life, the Captain is having a romance with a wealthy, cultivated, and lovely Baroness, but he is becoming more and more captivated by Maria, and is falling in love with her, and she, too,feels growing affection for him. She is a nun, however, and unschooled indealing with the situation. Frightened by the developments, Maria runs back to the convent, where the reverend mother convinces her that she must face, rather than run from, the situation, causing Maria to return to the Captain's home. It seems, though, that she is too late, learning that the Captain and the Baroness have become engaged.
The Captain, who had surely concluded that he could never have Maria for a wife, confides to the Baroness that he loves Maria, but the Baroness admits she had sensed it long ago, and the engagement is called off. The Captain and Maria marry, but an ugly situation fronts them upon returning from their honeymoon -- the Captain has been summoned, in a telegram, by the Third Reich to serve in its navy.
The freedom of all Austrians to live their lives to the fullest is in danger, for it is 1938, and Germany is marching into Austria. The Captain is a patriot, passionate about the fulfilling life that Austria has always offered its citizens. The Captain hates Nazi’s behavior and is unwilling to serve the Third Reich, so he decides to leave Austria with his family. After a farewell concert at the music festival and with some help from the reverend mother and the Sisters at the convent, the Von Trapps escape the pursuit of the Nazi officers and soldiers and finally they set out over the Alps into Switzerland.
