Anna decides to sacrifice her happiness to save Vronsky's family honor by secretly forcing him back to his regiment. One ending shows her sneaking away to her tragic end while he rejoins the cavalry. The other ["happy"] ending shows Vronsky locating her three years later visiting her son's military academy, now a widow.
