Synopsis:

In this insightful, finely crafted piece, we are in 1928 Berlin, ten years after the murder of the Romanov family by the Bolsheviks. Rumours are spreading that Anastasia Nikolayevna, the seventeen year old youngest daughter of Tzar Nicholas II, may have survived the firing squad, giving hope to the re-establishment of old Russian values. Businessmen Abramovich, Alexandrovich and The Prince attempt to continue 'milking money from a corpse' in perpetuating the survival myth of the princess. As suggested by an unfinished painting of a regal young woman with missing facial features, they need a girl who will fit the frame enough to convince even the Tsar's mother. Various women have claimed to be Anastasia over the years, although recent DNA evidence has proved this to be impossible.
