Plot Summary
A young Donna Sheridan graduates from Oxford’s New College with her best friends, Rosie and Tanya, and dreams of the Greek island Kalokairi. Her mother, Ruby, is a famous singer, but they have a strained relationship as Ruby is always away on tour so she does not attend Donna’s graduation. Fed up with her mother’s constant absence and determined to spend her life making memories, Donna travels to Kalokairi to find her destiny. In the present,[a] Donna’s daughter, Sophie, is in Kalokairi preparing the grand reopening of the Hotel Bella Donna in honour of her recently deceased mother. Harry and Bill can’t attend due to overseas obligations and Sophie also feels estranged from her husband, Sky, who has been offered a job in New York City.
In Paris, Donna meets the sweet, awkward Harry Bright, who instantly falls in love with her. They spend the night together, but Donna leaves early for Greece. When she misses her boat to Kalokairi, Bill Anderson gives her a lift in his sailboat, where they dance and flirt. On the way, they help a stranded fisherman named Alexio to go back to shore in time to save the love of his life from marrying someone else. Unbeknownst to Donna, Harry has followed her to Greece, however he arrives too late and she sails off with Bill. In the present, Rosie and Tanya arrive and Sophie shows them the renovated hotel.
This mirrors the past, when Donna explores the abandoned farmhouse that would eventually become the hotel. A heavy storm then breaks out and Donna discovers a trapped horse, and soothes it with the assistance of Sam Carmichael. In the present, a heavy storm destroys both the decorations and cuts off ferries to Kalokairi, to Sophie’s dismay. Sam, who lives in a cabin on the island, reassures Sophie that she can never disappoint her mother, as he once did.
