Under the Russian Empire, society shows no pardon to women who transgress. Married to a high-level functionary and very attached to her son, Anna Karenina (*Keira Knightley*, the proud heroine of *Pride and Prejudice* and *The Duchess*) goes to Moscow with her brother Oblonsky, an inveterate skirt chaser, so she can patch things up with his wife. At the train station she meets Count Vronsky (*Aaron Johnson*), who has just broken up with Oblonsky's sister-in-law, Kitty, and begins to court her. Pressured by Vronsky even when she returns to St. Petersburg, Anna succumbs to his charms and leaves her cold husband. Will she find happiness with Vronsky?
