Zvyká si sama v nové zemi a snaží se najít si v dívčí škole slečny Minchinové kamarádky. Když se však dozví, že už nikdy neuvidí svého milovaného otce, obrátí se její život vzhůru nohama a nyní již úplně chudá Sára musí pracovat jako služebná.

Malá Sara je výnimočne inteligentná a privilegovaná študentka Výberového lýcea pre mladé dámy pani Minchinovej, ktorá si majetok Sárinho otca cení oveľa viac než vedomosti a milú povahu svojej zverenkyne, a potajme na dievča žiarli. Obe, hoci každú z iného dôvodu, zdrví nečakaná správa o jeho smrti. Sara, ktorú majetok a otcovo rozmaznávanie nikdy nepoznačili a zostávala vždy skromná, sa zrazu ocitne v novej situácií – žije vykázaná v podkroví a pracuje ako slúžka.
