After the Siamese revolution of 1932, she marries "Prem" and leaves the palace. Ploy's traditional values are challenged, leading to political conflicts among her three sons. The government later enacts laws to westernize lifestyles. During the war, their home is bombed, forcing them to move back to their ancestral home.
