The King feels determined about ushering Siam into the modern age and thus takes measures to introduce his offspring to the many wonders of Western education. Called upon to serve as a governess to his children, Anna sets her sights on an adventure. However, Anna, with her strong-willed opinions, and the King with his barbaric principles struggle to find common ground!
