In 19th century imperial Russia, a beautiful and acclaimed socialite, trapped in a loveless marriage, begins a passionate affair with the charismatic Count Vronsky. Anna, who is the mother of a young child, feels deeply dissatisfied with her life alongside the cold and distant Alexei Karenin, a government official. When Vronsky enters the scene, her world takes a radical turn, awakening in her an overflowing passion that upends societal norms.
As their romance blossoms, Anna faces a harsh reality: the double standard and the unyielding judgment of the aristocracy. The happiness she finds in her love increasingly contrasts with the external pressures she endures, leading her to question her place in the world and grapple with the inevitable loss that comes with defying conventions. While her personal life becomes tangled in emotional chaos, the story also explores the lives of other close characters, such as the idealistic Levin, who seeks the true meaning of love and happiness, and Kitty, his beloved who suffers due to Anna's decisions.
With stunning cinematography and a script that captures the essence of Tolstoy's original work, the plot blends romance and tragedy, showcasing the difficulties of living authentically in a world that punishes those who dare to love without restrictions. Ultimately, it is a profound study of desire, freedom, and sacrifice.
