Plot
The film takes place in England, in London in the 1980s. At No. 17 on Cherry Street, the Banks family is preoccupied with finding a nanny for their children. They publish the corresponding announcement in the newspaper. Announced is Mary Poppins. She is very reasonable, strict, but at the same time kind and sweet. She likes live music (that is, one that is not included).
