Anna is a girl from a poor family with two younger brothers. After his mother's death, his father drank heavily all day, resulting in the loss of the family's wealth, and the family soon went to the streets.
In order to support her family, Anna married the old and ugly official Modeste at the introduction of others.
At their wedding feast, the simple ladies looked at Anna pitifully.
The wives who like to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix teach their daughters that they can marry rich people like Anna and change the class.
However, Anna's married life was not happy. Modeste was so selfish that he wouldn't give Anna a penny. Buying jewelry for Anna is also just for her to wear out to save face for him.
Anna wanted to eat coffee candy and snacks, but he thought it was too expensive, and he was afraid of walking away without face, so he only bought a bottle of sparkling water and drank it all by himself.
Anna's brothers came to see Anna, but Modeste threw them out, hoping that Anna would not interact with them in the future.
He lives boringly and doesn't like music and dance, while Anna is the complete opposite of him.
Once, the Duke held a ball at the Nobles' Club and invited Modeste and his wife to visit. Modeste happily paid for Anna to make a dress, and Anna was amazed.
At the party, Anna sang and danced, and her elegant dancing posture and absolute beauty attracted the attention of all men, including the Duke.
The Duke took Anna's hand and walked around the field for a week, and Modeste was honored for it.
At this dance, Anna received the title of "Queen of the Ball". There was also a charity auction session at the party, where she slapped the auction items, and the men frantically increased their prices.
After the ball, the guests in modeste's house were endless, bouquets of flowers piled up in the living room, Anna was like a fairy with stars and the moon, and even the duke came to visit her.
Anna enjoyed the popularity of the crowd, modeste was not angry, and even deliberately sent the Duke to Anna's room in order to please the Duke.
Soon after, Modeste was honored by the Duke for Anna's sake, receiving two Second Class Santa Ana Medals.
At the end of the film, Anna is riding in her lover's carriage and laughing and galloping down the snowy streets. Ironically, her father and two younger brothers were being driven into the street. Her father called out to her desperately, but her voice was completely muffled by Anna's laughter.
The film is based on Chekhov's 1895 novel of the same name, released in 1954.
Money, status and beauty are topics that are discussed in every age. Chekhov's work of that era also satirized money worship and denounced the dirtiness of high society.
In Qiong Yao's work "A Curtain of Dreams", he began to beautify the image of this old rich man, Fei Yunfan was humorous and romantic, and would also send a sea of purple ling flowers. It was as if rich old men were all wasteful.
Until now, many boys and girls in ordinary families have become a difficult problem if they want to achieve economic freedom and buy a house, which makes money worship popular. Although not everyone is attached to the big money, many people occasionally think "Sister, I don't want to work hard".
But I think that everyone should still live more independently on their own, not compare with others, and strive to find the warmth of life.
Don't fall like Anna, because the stars and the moon are only temporary, and a person who can be abused at will will not get the real respect of others. One day, when beauty is gone, it will be abandoned like garbage.
