Synopsis

Vronsky What were you thinking about with your head stuck to the watering can?

Anna Oh, the same, always the same.

I was thinking about my happiness and about my unhappiness.

Russia is changing.

Rules have been broken.

Chaos is looming.

Families are falling apart.

Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is an examination of a country in the midst of extraordinary change.

Through the impact of one woman's decision, it looks at the troubling cost of love on the human soul.
