Handlung
Die junge englische Witwe Anna Leonowens begibt sich Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts mit ihrem Sohn Louis an den Hof des Königs von Siam, um dessen Kinder zu unterrichten. Ziemlich schnell stellt sich heraus, dass der der Vielweiberei fröhnende König nur wenige von Annas Ansichten teilt. Während sich beide an Starrköpfigkeit zu überbieten versuchen, kann Anna seinen Respekt und seine Zuneigung gewinnen und einen mäßigenden Einfluss auf ihn ausüben.
