Anna Karenina

Anna Karenina (Tatyana Samoylova) is the wife of the officer Karenin (Nikolai Gritsenko), living in Imperial Russia and traveling to Moscow to visit her brother. On the way she meets the cavalry officer Vronsky (Vasili Lanovoy), and Aleksandr Zarkhi adapts Tolstoy's novel from there. In St. Petersburg society a woman's reputation is easily ruined, and the attraction between Anna and Vronsky is immediate, mutual and impossible to hide.
