The most fascinating love story ever told. Scarlett O'Hara lives in Tara, a large plantation in the southern state of Georgia, and is in love with Ashley Wilkes, who will soon marry Melanie Hamilton. We are in 1861, in the run-up to the Civil War, and all young Southerners are enthusiastic about going into battle, except for the handsome adventurer Rhett Butler.
