Anna Karenina background

Anna Karenina

Tragedy strikes when a married woman's illicit romance with a charming young military officer spirals out of control.

Stefan and Dolly Oblonsky's disagreement prompts Stefan to invite his sister Anna Karenina to Moscow to resolve their rift. Anna travels from St. Petersburg with Countess Vronsky, whose son, Col. Vronsky, greets her at the Moscow station. Col. Vronsky's dashing uniform and Anna's first glance spark a romantic connection. As they frequently encounter each other at parties in St. Petersburg, they must be cautious in their secret meetings due to Anna's married status and young child.
