Summary

A girl living in England during the Edwardian period has a great ambition to become a doctor, but the society she is living in does not encourage young ladies to aspire to anything more than a comfortable marriage. By supernatural means, she comes into contact with another girl of the same age, but living in the 1990s, who is unhappy in her present life. The two girls swap places. A nicely made production, probably intended chiefly for older children; many adults will enjoy it too.
