In this historical drama set in mid-19th century Siam, we follow the story of Anna Loenowens, a resolute and determined Welsh widow, who takes up the role as governess and English tutor to the numerous wives and children of the strict King Mongkut. As Anna navigates through the intricate palace dynamics, she encounters constant opposition from the King himself due to their contrasting personalities. Her mission becomes more urgent when she learns that a party is to be held for European diplomats, who harbor negative perceptions about the Siamese monarch. In an attempt to bridge cultural gaps and transform the royal family's image through knowledge of English language, customs, and etiquette, Anna faces significant challenges while working tirelessly towards the success of this pivotal event in Siam's history.
