Nicola Pagett stars as Anna Karenina in this classic BBC adaptation of Leo Tolstoys epic tale of Passion set in late nineteenth century Russia. Anna is young, vivacious, beautiful and resigned to a loveless marriage of convenience to a man twenty years her senior. She moves in the highest circles of Czarist Russia and believes herself to be invulnerable to temptation. But her life changes dramatically when she meets Count Vronksy who awakens her dormant passion and changes her life with ultimately tragic consequences.
