Description It's 1862 and Anna, and English widow, arrives in Bangkok to become the governess to the King's many children. In time she warms to the King and becomes, in effect, his advisor. However, when the King thwarts a romance between a Burmese Princess he has been given as a present and her true love, Anna prepares to leave. The King suffers a heart attack and as he dies Anna realises she can't leave, and she helps her favourite pupil, Prince Chululongkorn ascend the throne.
