This film is adapted from historical events and reinterprets the famous love story between the widowed British school teacher Anna Leonowens and the King of Siam (the old name for Thailand), compared to the version featuring Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner in 1956. In the 1860s, Anna (played by Jodie Foster) arrives in Siam with her son to become the governess for the king (played by Chow Yun-fat), who has many wives and children. Initially, due to vastly different customs and cultures, Anna faces many seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and the king treats her almost like a 'savage.' As their relationship deepens, although many disharmonies still exist, they gradually earn mutual respect and sparks of love ignite.
