with Count Vronsky-a young and wealthy military officer. And now, Anna wants to
break away from her cold marriage. As Karenin refuses to separate, Anna is
doomed. Caught between the rigorous societal norms, laws, and the Orthodox
Church, she is consumed by guilt and isolation. What becomes of Anna as she is
left tormented?
