Anastasia

An epic tale told in a sweeping style, the story of Anastasia jumps from the fairy tale Romanov Court 1906 to 1917 to the restrictive regime of post war Russia, then journeys to Paris. Two charlatans (Dmitry and Vlad) embark on a wild ride in "the biggest con in history": they will groom a naive girl Anya to pose as the long-lost princess Anastasia to extract money from the Dowager Empress. The Dowager’s irrepressible lady in waiting, Lily, is persuaded to help arrange the “meet”. But when Anya (an amnesiac) provides details of court life that she should not know and falls effortlessly into the “role” of Anastasia, the audience begins to wonder if the girl is a fraud or, in fact, the lost Grand Duchess herself. Relentlessly pursued by the Russian government and its henchman Gleb, tormented by a barrage of memories, Anastasia must “journey to the past” before discovering her future.
