The King and I background

The King and I

In this movie, a widow takes on the role of governess to the King of Siam's children, leading to a transformative experience of cultural exploration and personal growth.

In 19th century Bangkok, a strong-willed English schoolteacher, Mrs. Anna Leonowens, and her son arrive to educate the royal children. Despite initial reservations, Anna grows fond of the kids, and a new slave's creative adaptation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as a Siamese ballet sparks a dramatic turn of events. As Anna navigates her feelings for the King, she must confront her own biases and make a choice between leaving Siam or embracing a new life with the monarch.
