In 1862 an English
widow, Anna Leonowens, is invited in Siam by the king to serve as tutor to his many children and
wives. Anna and her young son arrive at the Royal Palace in Bangkok and begin
to settle. The king is a rough man, by Western standards, and he seeks Anna's assistance
to improve his image, if not his ways. Their first encounter is stormy, to say
the least.
Without giving up to their respective traditions and values, Anna and the king grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story.
