once we lived in an enchanted world. . .
a world of tsars and princesses and elegant palaces. . .
and grand parties. . .
a beautiful, magical time. . .
that would soon be gone forever. . .
why were you so late tonight
what were you showing her?
i thought you were told not to tutor your servants anymore.
it's where i've made my home but i do have something for you . . .
when you're older . . .
until then, whenever you hear this song, think of me and know that i'm waiting for you.
some say rasputin ad harnessed all the dark powers of evil and that it was his curse which brought about the end . . .
i will never know for sure. all i do know is that the beauty of our world was soon gone . . . forever . . .
anastasia, no!
hurry, child!
get on! anastasia, get on!
grab my hand!
anastasia!
anastasia!
i never saw her again. . .
take her away, sophie.
haven't anything better to do than to break my heart.
no more. so more.
no, sophie. my heart can't take it anymore! i will see no more girls claiming to be anastasia.
how much pain will you inflict on an old woman for money?!
remove him at once.
ulo! slow down!
you! how dare you?! stop this car immediately!
stop this car!
anastasia's music box.  she had this all these years.  you could have found it.
who are you, child?
do you remember this?
oh! where did you get that?!
it was hers .  my anastasia's .  if this is part of your scheme! if you found it or stole - i don't care, i'll give you whatever you want just tell me the truth!
par away, long ago glowing deep
don't worry about that now, child, it will all come back to you now that you're home.
my poor child you're safe, now.  you're home .
anastasia! it was just a bat! it's gone, dear.
no, no child.  shush.  it's all right .
do it somewhere else, please. quietly.
you are going to make a beautiful princess.
lovely.  what troubles you, child?
thank you, vladimir.,
i sent for you because i owe you a debt of gratitude larger than i can ever repay
i want you to have the reward money - you've earned it.
young man, i.
you are the boy .
that last night in the palace.  one boy showed us kindness and courage. you were the boy who saved our lives, weren't you? please, is there nothing i can do to repay you?
she does.
oh, dmitri.i wish that i could.
i believe her highness understands what she has to do.
don't you, child?
no, not about the ceremony, anastasia - do you understand the choice you must make.
but they didn't take the money - either one of them. i offered it to them, but they both refused.
no, he just wanted to know you were happy.
you'll have to become used to it, child, if you accept the crown.
is it? is this what you want?
you can't go back to find your home. your home is in your heart, in the future that you make for yourself.
this is who you were. exactly who you are is up to you.
yes, you do. you do.
and in your heart, you know what is right for you.
and we have found each other nothing will ever change that! i am your family, dear child, but i may not be your home.
